Snow-blower threatened with gun

POSTED: Wednesday, January 12, 2011, 1:09 PM

Remember those Eagles fans who pegged Santa with some snowballs? There's a grinch up in Bensalem that could use some snow-pelting.

Police say Eddie Simmons, 26, of the 1300 block of Neshaminy Valley Drive, grew enraged at a man using a snow-blower to remove snow at Simmons' apartment complex this morning, accusing him of blowing snow at his car. When the plower, a subcontractor working for the apartment complex to clear its lots and walks, responded that he wasn't plowing in Simmons' car, Simmons allegedly threatened him, saying: "Somebody better move the snow, or somebody is going to get shot." Simmons then allegedly pulled a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun from his pocket and shoved it into the snow-plower's cheek, according to Bensalem police. He then returned to his apartment.

The snow-plower alerted police, who arrested Simmons and charged him with aggravated assault, terroristic threats and related offenses. He will be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. today.

    Eddie is one sick scumbag. Society needs to give him a padded room where he does not have to worry about his ugly car.

    Do we know for a fact he had a gun permit? Do we know whether or not he had bought the gun legally? Are you assuming a bit much from too little information? Never mind answering the first two. The answer to the third is pretty evident.

    Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word...
