The incident was filmed by Derrick Taylor, a technician for the telecommunications company, as he was calling in law enforcement.
"There’s a guy shooting out the tires," a shocked Taylor told the police operator. "And he’s shooting out the engine on the trucks and everything."
"Shooting with an actual gun, an actual gun, a revolver," Taylor confirmed to the confused dispatcher.
The video footage shows the now-retired Miami-Dade firefighter shooting all four tires of the first truck as he calmly walked toward the second to do the same, reloading the weapon at least twice.
Once the Hialeah-area police officers were on scene, a sergeant stated he saw Jove shoot at an AT&T worker who was working in a raised bucket lift as the spree continued.
The homeowner was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm and criminal mischief. The disgruntled resident quickly posted his $30,000 bond, according to the Miami Herald.
As for the gun, it was confiscated by officials. Incidentally, Jove did not have a concealed weapons permit.
"He went back into his house, came out a few moments later with a gun and started firing at both AT&T trucks that were on the scene," Ramos and Taylor informed Zogby.
Despite unloading at least 18 shots, no injuries were reported.
"He seemed to be a quiet man, and something made him snap today," Zogby told local station WSVN.
AT&T released a statement that read: "We’re grateful nobody was hurt, and we’re working with law enforcement in their investigation."
