Florida man buried his boss in dirt using a front-end loader, police say

A Florida man buried his boss nearly waist-deep in dirt during an argument at a construction site that ended in serious injuries, according to police.

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.

People will just resort to using a front-end loader. In most states, you don't need a license to drive one and there is no background check.

Everyone in construction knows this.

Oh my, the story is much worse. He buried him, ran him over and brained him with an aluminum level.

Eric 'Pork Chop' Cox should not use that 'nick' on his next job application.

The professor asked if we had Spanish names in the first. I said no. There is no Spanish equivalent of Owen. Somehow it came out that my wife was Mex Am. He asked what she called me. I said "nothing I'd say in class". He said "come one, tell us." I jokingly said "Pendejo". Guess what my second semester Spanish name was
