After reportedly yelling and cursing at a snowplow truck driver, who recorded the altercation and later reported him to police, Jeffrey Greeson was detained on Friday.
When Paul Manson trundled by on his snow plow to clear the streets for traffic and make them safer to use, Greeson became agitated. Greeson’s road was blocked by snow from Manson’s plow, which led to an unpleasant reaction from him.
Who is Jeffrey Greeson?
Jeffrey Greeson is a 51-year-old Wentworth Republican lawmaker who was arrested on Friday. He is also a retired Navy officer and pastor serving his second term in the House, where he sits on the Judiciary Committee.
According to authorities, Greeson was booked for disorderly behavior, criminal threats, and simple assault. He was told to return to Plymouth District Court on May 18 after being discharged on personal recognizance.
The Wentworth road agent, Paul Manson, claimed that he had been plowing for around six hours on Saturday when he came upon Greeson standing in the road’s center at around 8 a.m.

“He just started giving me hell, and I didn’t know what was going on,” he said. “When I got out of the truck, he started screaming in my face. So I got back in the truck and got my phone.”
Greeson can be seen swinging his fists in a humiliating fashion in anger in the video footage captured by the driver from the Wentworth Highway Department. He can be heard saying, ‘Now, get in your truck and do your job! And you don’t put it in my driveway! Push it over there, out of the road, over there!’ he said referring to a pile of snow the driver had been dealing with.

Greeson followed the plow driver around his driveway during his tantrum, trampling through several feet of snow while barking commands and yelling and cursing about where the snow should be placed.
‘Here´s where my driveway ends, right here. Push it out of the road!’ shouted Greeson. ‘Your job is to clear the road. Clear the road! Now, get in your truck and do your job!’
