Georgia Paving Feud Escalates Into Violent Confrontation

Six members of the Buckland family were arrested after allegedly attacking rival paving company workers with bats, sticks, and a gun in a turf dispute.

The altercation occurred on December 19 in Monroe County, Georgia, when members of the Buckland family confronted employees of EH Paving at a driveway job site.
The Bucklands allegedly viewed the paving work near one of their properties as disrespectful, leading to an argument that turned violent.
Weapons including bats, sticks, and a gun were reportedly used during the attack, leaving several EH Paving employees injured, one of whom required hospital treatment.
Mark Buckland Sr., 77, is accused of pointing a 'cowboy-style' pistol during the incident, while other family members allegedly assaulted workers with bats and fists.
All six Buckland family members face charges ranging from criminal trespass to aggravated assault and have since been released on bond.
