Michael Guevarra, 19, attacked a tow truck driver three times over the head with a metal bar at 2:30 a.m. at Legacy Village Apartments in Plano, Texas in May 2024 after the driver began hooking up his mother's car with proper authorization, according to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth. The tow driver fired a warning shot that lodged in a tire; Guevarra was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and the driver was not cited.
