Authorities say a 62-year-old man fired a gun and chased his neighbor with a machete after two arguments over watering plants on Tuesday.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said that after the second argument, the man went into his house and came out carrying a .38-caliber pistol and a machete.
Authorities said the man threatened to shoot his neighbor if he didn't stop arguing with him. He then fired a shot into the ground and followed the neighbor back to his house, where he hit the front door with the machete.
The man was arrested and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and discharging a firearm in public. He was being held without bail set on the attempted murder charge.
