SNAP: Lady allegedly launched eggs at work van… job finished under...

YARMOUTH – [DEVELOPING] – Tree workers were in the process of cleaning up at a residence on Freeboard Lane, when a neighbor reportedly stormed out ordering them to stop and go home, it was only about 6:00PM last evening, sources told HN…

One of the tree workers tried to explain they were almost done and that it would be a waste of time to pack up when they could quickly finish, not having to return and make more noise in the morning.

That answer was reportedly not good enough for the woman as she allegedly went back inside and returned to the scene armed with several eggs.

Witnesses recount the shocking moments when an enraged fully grown female allegedly launched eggs at their work van. It wasn’t pretty…

Police received a phone call from the homeowner where the tree work was being done. She reported the egging and that her neighbor had been harassing the workers all day long.

HN arrived shortly after police, capturing the messy crime scene on camera. There were egg shells stuck to a van, some on the roadway, broken yokes, whites still dripping from a chrome bumper…

Police went to a nearby residence to speak with a suspect and perhaps delve deeper into the bizarre mind-set of an alleged middle-aged egg thrower. They were looking to speak with a female suspect said to be in her mid-fifties, and also said to have been recently investigated for another instance of malicious destruction in the same neighborhood.

Officers knocked repeatedly, and made telephone calls, but were unable to get the suspect to come to the door to speak with them.

Meanwhile, the tree workers hustled, now ever leery about the possibility of incoming eggs.

Police stood by until the men were able to finish their day’s work and safely leave the hostile surroundings.

HN learned officers took out an arrest number for the suspect, and she will likely be summoned to face a judge on a charge of malicious destruction…

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a Barnstable County court of law.

HN NOTE: Please do not throw things at local tree workers or their equipment. Their job is dangerous enough without having to worry about random projectiles being launched at them by disturbed freaks pissed off at having noise cut into their daily soap operas, while stretched out on their sofas or comfy chairs, ingesting cheese doodles…

Today’s workers were simply doing their job.

These guys work hard long hours, fueled by coffee and a basic desire to make ends meet.

Believe me, they were not trying to draw things out and stay working longer. They simply wanted to finish, start home, possibly stopping at a nearby packie, buying cold beer to help wash down their take-out supper, quite often buffalo wings, followed by large amounts of Advil… only to quickly fall asleep five minutes into some movie they’ve been trying to finish all week, the one planned for the remains of the day… before getting up at 5:00AM to start it all over again.

Being harassed is the last thing they need.

But this being Cape Cod, there is always a small slithering army of nut-jobs who believe it’s their sole duty to go around screwing with people just out there trying to make a living.

It must be a Cape thing, whenever good men and women start honest work, indoors or out, festering hordes of deranged lunatics come oozing out from under nearby rocks, just aching to somehow start *bleep* !

It’s a major problem and I’ve never seen anything quite like it anywhere else!

But having said that, the much larger majority of real Cape Codders understand honest labor and hard work…

…but for you nut-jobs who still don’t get it – and I’m speaking directly to you – please stay firmly wedged under your rocks and crevices… and safely out of the way until at least after the first snowfall!

You will do everyone a tremendous favor, picking up fewer charges, less time tying up our criminal justice system, saving tax dollars…

ALSO, please take the HN Nut-Job Challenge:    If every nut-job would just pitch in and pledge to cut back on freaking-out on one less person per day, the Cape would be a much nicer place!

Thank you for being a team player!
