Max Horton is 91 years old, lives in Florida, and apparently has been grumpy since about 1953.

An Avon Park senior is charged with attempted murder after allegedly threatening to kill and shooting at some landscapers who apparently sprayed grass clippings on his car, authorities said.

An argument between the pair turned violent when Horton allegedly pulled out a handgun, ordered Hendrix to get on his knees and told him he was going to kill him.

He then fired a shot at Hendrix, but missed. Fortunately, another landscaper jumped Horton, wrestled the gun from him, and held him down until the police arrived. From the looks of things, Horton put up a fight and lost.

But they couldn’t take him to the hospital because …

Horton was initially taken to Highlands Regional Medical Center for treatment following the dispute, according to the Sheriff’s Office. He could not be taken to Florida Hospital because he allegedly made threats to hospital staff previously in September 2013, reportedly saying he had a gun in his vehicle and that they would be sorry if he went to get it.

And he still had a gun.

Way to go, Florida.
