A Florida man was charged with attempted murder after police said he allegedly shot an acquaintance after chasing him down in his garbage truck.

In a press release posted to Facebook on Monday, the Zephyrhills Police Department stated that 46-year-old Quinson Croson was arrested following an incident involving an alleged shooting, a “verbal exchange” at a Wawa gas station, and a garbage truck chase. Police said that detectives first responded to AdventHealth Zephyrhills hospital where Brandon Raymon Lee, whose age was not provided, arrived with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his right arm.

Lee reportedly told police that Croson shot him after a verbal confrontation at Wawa “quickly escalated into violence.”

According to a criminal complaint reviewed by Law&Crime, Lee and his co-worker J’Nyith Reyes, ran into Croson at the Wawa on Friday morning. Lee, who knew Croson as the owner of a local bar, shook Croson’s hand and noticed that he smelled of alcohol. He told police that “out of concern,” he told Croson “in a friendly manner” that he should go home. In response, Croson became angry, and the men started to argue.

Reyes later told police that during the conversation, Lee called Croson “silly,” and this may have been what triggered Croson, according to the complaint.

Local NBC affiliate WFLA interviewed Zephyrhills Police Chief Derek Brewer, who told the outlet that the advice was apparently received by Croson “as some sort of disrespect.” Brewer also said that Lee “was trying to keep [Croson] from hurting himself or hurting someone else, showed some compassion. He was really trying to do the right thing.”

Despite Lee’s good intentions, Croson got into his SUV and followed Lee and Reyes to the garbage truck they were using for work that morning.
