A Florida man with anti-government views may have fatally stabbed his boss Monday over the man’s support of President Trump before placing an American flag next to his body, according to authorities.

Mason Toney, 28, is accused of killing his manager, Willian Knight, 28, at an Orlando construction site near the Florida Turnpike, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. Toney was arrested after an hours-long search, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The article goes on to state the following:

Witnesses said the pair, who were also friends, was traveling from one job to another when they got into an argument, possibly over their political differences, according to an affidavit. Toney is “anti-government and very outspoken about his beliefs that the government is bad and out to get him,” Detective Fabian Ramirez wrote in the affidavit.

According to the report, witnesses told investigators that around 10:30 a.m., they heard Knight yelling for help. They ran over and saw Toney stabbing Knight with a trowel.

Workers tried to stop Toney by throwing things at him, but he moved towards them with what they thought was a knife, then jumped in his pickup truck and took off.

Toney was arrested in a neighboring county hours later, has been charged with first degree murder and is being held without bond.
