Snow plow driver accused of spraying anti-Trump protesters with slush

A snow plow driver in Massachusetts reportedly faces charges of disorderly conduct and assault after witnesses said he intentionally sprayed a group of anti-Trump protesters with slush and ice on Presidents Day.

Falmouth police Lt. Douglas DeCosta told The Cape Cod Times on Tuesday that the driver, John C. Pimental, will soon be called to the Falmouth District Court to answer to the charges.

Witnesses told the local paper that nearly 55 demonstrators were outside at the Falmouth Village Green on Monday protesting President Trump’s decision last week to declare a national emergency to secure funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Those participating in the protest told the newspaper that Pimental, an independent contractor, had approached them at an accelerating speed as he dropped the plow blade on his truck and began to spray slush on the demonstrators.
