Plow driver smacked by shovel-wielding man

FRAMINGHAM -- A Belvidere Avenue man attacked a plow driver with a shovel
yesterday morning because he was upset the driver blocked his driveway
with snow and repeatedly drove up and down the road, police said.
Stephen C. Meninno, 49, of 60 Belvidere Ave. was arrested at 12:57 a.m.
and was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault
and battery, disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct, police said.
"He claimed the town employee was taunting him by going up and down the
street plowing the road," Lt. Lou Griffith said.
The victim, who was not named, told investigators that Meninno yelled at
him and claimed he wasn't plowing correctly, Griffith said. Belvidere
Avenue is a side street off Concord Street between the Hartford Street
intersection and Gorman Road across from the district court.
Meninno, who police said was drunk, grabbed a shovel and hit the driver,
police said. The driver wasn't hurt.
"The guy had all kinds of clothes," said Griffith. "He hit him in the arm
and grabbed him by the jacket. He (the plow driver) had been assaulted by
Mr. Meninno, essentially for plowing the street and leaving snow at the
end of his driveway."
Meninno could not be reached for comment yesterday. Framingham Public
Works Director Peter Sellers could not be reached, and it was unclear if
the victim was a town employee or a private contractor hired by the town.
Meninno was arraigned yesterday in Framingham District Court, where he
pleaded not guilty and was released. The terms of his release and his next
court date weren't available yesterday.
