Montichiari, 79-Year-Old Devastates a Cultivated Field and Assaults a Police Officer. Last weekend, an incident of agricultural vandalism occurred in the countryside of Montichiari, leading to an assault on two Carabinieri from the Calcinato station. The situation began with a report of a car speeding through a cultivated field, causing significant damage to the crops. Behind the wheel was a 79-year-old man, a resident of Calcinato, who forced his way onto the property and then unleashed a destructive spree among the crops ready for harvest; this act was reportedly motivated by a personal grudge related to the sale of the field that took place several years ago.
When the Carabinieri intervened and intercepted the fleeing vehicle after a brief chase, the situation quickly escalated. During the identification process, the 79-year-old reacted by punching a female officer, resulting in a cut to her face, and she was taken to the emergency room for necessary treatment. The man was ultimately arrested and charged with resisting a public official and causing injury, in addition to being reported by the landowner for the substantial damage inflicted on the harvest.
