Yesterday in Florida Joseph Max Fucheck was arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm with prejudice, and for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Fucheck reportedly placed a business card in the mailbox of Dwayne Wynn while Wynn was across the street talking with a neighbor.

When Wynn looked in his mailbox and removed the business card Fucheck returned and began to yell at Wynn claiming he had stolen property and was being nosy.
