A furious, gun-toting Texas man shot another man’s car after he mistakenly drove onto his driveway — and threatened to blast the startled driver in the “-–king head,” wild video shows.
Michael Alan Truelock, 50, of Honey Grove, faces up to 20 years in prison on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the July 2019 encounter in Fannin County, where he’s due back in court next month.
A newly released 45-second clip shows the heated encounter between Truelock and Charles Landers, who was looking for a place to fish as he drove along a roadway in northeast Texas when he apparently made a wrong turn onto the man’s property.
“I didn’t know this was your house,” Landers tells Truelock as the man holds him at gunpoint, video shows.
“Yeah, you -–king did, too!” Truelock replies.
“No, I did not,” Landers insists, further aggravating the armed man as he tries to leave. “I’ma — I’ma go now.”
“No, you’re gonna f–king end up dead,” Truelock replies. “That’s what’s fixin’ to happen to you.”
Truelock then threatens to shoot Landers in the head, telling him, “You ain’t driving nowhere.”
“I promise you, I’ll put it in your -–king head,” Truelock continues in the video. “You’re in my driveway.”
Landers claims he was actually parked on the road, but Truelock is unmoved, according to the footage.
“Put it in -–king park right now,” Truelock tells Landers. “’Cause you’re fixin’ to go to jail … Put it in park or I’ll put a -–king bullet in your head!”
Landers then drives off as Truelock opens fire, hitting the man’s car, video shows. Landers was left so terrified by the confrontation that he reportedly crashed into a nearby ditch.

Sorry but most times than not, the story is what it is. Hard to imagine isn't it?
Get back to us when you get "the rest of the story".........Sheesh!
“It says June 16, 2020”
Updated. OP should Comment.
Answer #1: Most likely a go pro camera which more and more people are using.
Answer#2: They're recording it because they can with their go pro camera.
Answer#3: No indication whatsoever that they know each other. If that's not the case, then it still doesn't excuse the bald headed psycho from brandishing and discharging a handgun and I hope he is arrested for that as well as being stupid.........
“So random driveways don’t belong to houses nearby or something?
Protip: if it isn’t your driveway or you don’t have express direct clear permission to be there, don’t pull in!”
On two occasions I have pulled onto a dirt road while looking for access to a river for canoeing. Both times the road showed as a county road on a quad map. Both times I was stopped by someone who told me they had purchased all the surrounding property and the road was no longer public. I apologized, thanked them for the info, and went on my way. No gunplay was needed. Sometimes there is just crazy or meth lab.
F’g loon. Bad enough to threaten someone with a gun for parking in his driveway. The guy goes total bats*t crazy when he starts firing as the driver tries to get away from this lunatic. Put his f’g ass in jail.
He was going to kill someone for the “crime” of pulling into his driveway. Good God.
“There’s more to this story than what we’re reading. There always is.
My guess is a bad history between these two.”
Yep, just like the story yesterday of the guy leaving his 2 kids in his truck to die from heat exposure. People were about to lynch him. Turns out he fell asleep and the neighbors ring bell caught the 2 kids climbing up into the truck and closing the door.
Updated at 3:20pm. The story is from TODAY.
Guy with gun looks like Rick from Pawn Stars
Victim claims he wasn't in the driveway but rather on the road.
So who ya gonna believe, the victim or the out of control, bald headed, paranoid yahoo with the gun in his hand?
And when the victim decides to drive away, the bald headed, paranoid, psycho yahoo decides to shoot at him?????
And if you support the yahoo, then lets hear your explanation of support for the idiot after he shoots at the car as it is driving away......
this should be good!
“I’m gonna go out on a limb here and speculate Landers is white.
Otherwise he might have jumped out of the car and attacked Crazy White Man with a gun.
Certain sub cultures of Americans seem to be doing that lately.”
Completely uncalled for.
castle law???
Saw the already posted video of the bald lunatic.......
Sounds awfully... fishy... to me. Why wouldn't he know where to fish? You just go off down the road looking for spots? Everyone knows every piece of land is owned by someone now days...
How do you two come away offended at my post?
Do you deny there are different cultures in America? All men are equal under the Constitution. But are all cultures equal?
I’m just repeating what the liberals tell us.

Had a similar situation once. Had a double barreled shotgun put in my face as I sat in the driver’s seat. I just waited until the guy got tired of holding it and cussing and lowered it. Then I drove off. It didn’t take that long.

Yeah, but the other guy is trying to tell me this article is from 2019 and it was only updated today. Wrong. This article is because of the video and is from today. Enough already.
