Wonder what the back story is? Powerline trimming on private property can be a touchy subject. It's come up here in local community meetings.
I live 50 miles from where this happened. This same crew was trimming my trees last ear. I told them "Welcome aboard. I like electricity." See, if the power company doesn't cut dangerous trees, then a tree will crash across the lines, and you won't have electricity. Then you won't have water.
I guess this fine citizen in Yancey County didn't understand this.

I've done some ditch scrounging from neighbors (with permission) and had a few folks stop and ask what I'm up to but nothing this bad. I think I'll be double checking that I am on the right property from here on out.
Looks like the back story is idiot owns guns and keeps getting in trouble with them, not his first rodeo.
Sounds like a standup guy. Charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon, DWIs and carrying a concealed weapon in 2019.
