Andre Abrams, 57, from Gainesville, Florida has had multiple disputes with his neighbors over a parking issue, police say.
Look, squabbles happen between neighbors all the time. It's best just to keep a level-head during these encounters and everyone can get along fine.
Well Abrams decided NOT to keep a level head, according to authorities.
Following one of these recent disputes, Abrams went inside his home and retrieved his XM-42 Lite FLAMETHROWER and proceeded to shoot flames within five feet of the neighbor's car while their family was sitting in it, including three children.
Thankfully the flames never hit the car, but witnesses told the Alachua Chronicle flames got within about five feet of the vehicle.
Abrams was arrested, and neighbors told the police there have been multiple instances of using the flamethrower in the neighborhood. The 57-year-old told the police he wasn't aiming for the children, and if he wanted to burn the car he would have.
He's currently facing three counts of aggravated assault.
