Falmouth police are charging a plow driver with intentionally spraying snow and ice on anti-Trump protesters.

The 31-year-old man gunned his pickup truck and crossed over the center line of the road while dropping the pickup truck’s blade to spray snow, water, and ice on the protesters on Falmouth Village Green, according to the Cape Cod Times. He did it again about 10 minutes later from the right side of the road, the newspaper reports.

The man will be summonsed to court to answer charges of assault and disorderly conduct in the incident, which police say happened shortly after noon Monday, February 18, which was the Washington’s Birthday holiday.
