8:09 AM PT — 9/30 —Cops have arrested a man in connection with the incident, and according to the police report … he’s facing misdemeanor charges of simple battery and simple assault.
The man, 48-year-old Angelo Zappacosta, is accused of shoving the other man in the video in the chest and taking a swing at him … though it didn’t connect. According to the alleged victim … Zappacosta was upset over him reportedly being on his property days earlier handing out wanted posters for Laundrie.
Tensions are boiling over on Brian Laundrie‘s block, a fight just broke out right in front of his Florida home involving one of the family’s neighbors.
Ya gotta see the video … the neighbor, in a red shirt, starts screaming at a couple of protestors who have set up camp outside the Laundrie family home … accusing the couple of stepping on his property.
The man sounds like he’s had enough of the protestors on his street, threatening to open a can of whoop-ass if the protestors step foot on his property … something he’s already accused them of doing before.
The showdown is super intense … and it gives a sense of the tensions building on Brian’s block.
As you know … there’s a manhunt for Brian, and the FBI has already searched the house.
