Raleigh man charged with assaulting tow truck driver, animal cruelty

A Raleigh man is facing several charges on Saturday after Wake County deputies said he shot at a tow truck driver.

According to court documents, Steve Loor, 47, pointed a gun at a tow truck driver and shot at him as he was attempting to tow a vehicle away. After the driver left the scene, Loor then drove past the victim’s home and fired two more shots.

Deputies arrested Loor and charged him with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor assault by pointing a gun.

Deputies also charged Loor with six counts of cruelty to animals, claiming he tormented and starved six rottweilers.

Loor is expected to appear in court in February on the assault charges.
