Erick Cox, 32, was arrested for aggravated assault on Wednesday. Cox, who goes by the nickname "Pork Chop," was released from Volusia County jail on a $5,000 bond, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
"He ran him over and covered him up with dirt! Send somebody out there, please," a 911 caller told a dispatcher, WESH-TV reported.
A Volusia County Sheriff's deputy responded to a call about a fight on Wednesday morning at Debary construction site. A witness told the deputy he saw Cox dump dirt onto the site supervisor, "which pinned him to the ground," according to an incident report.

Now I know why my old boss never let me run the back hoe.
But, seriously, a cubic meter of dirt weighs about a ton. Don't do that to someone.
