PLANO, Texas - A Plano man was arrested after police say he repeatedly hit a tow truck driver over the head with a metal bar who tried to tow his mother’s car.

The incident happened on Friday around 2:30 a.m. at the Legacy Village Apartments on Hansell Road.

Police say Michael Guevarra, 19, and his mom came out to the parking garage to find a tow truck driver hooking up his mom’s car. The driver had papers to tow.

Police say Guevarra then grabbed a metal bar and hit the tow truck driver three times over the head.

The tow truck driver then pulled out a gun and fired a round to get Guevarra to stop hitting him, police say. The bullet was lodged in a tire, but no one was hurt.

Police arrested Guevarra and charged him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The tow truck driver was not cited.
