Published August 19, 2020
A Florida man was arrested Friday for allegedly punching his neighbor in the face after the two got into an argument over the placement of a Joe Biden sign.
The Volusia County Sherriff's Office said Anthony Vullo, 55, admitted to "tossing" the sign from his neighbor's front yard in the town of DeBary, which initially sparked the confrontation. Fox 35 Orlando reported Vullo was upset because he believed the neighbor, 48, deliberately placed the political sign in front of his own sign.
