Lake Worth Beach resident shoots at Garbage Men

Lake Worth Beach man accused of opening fire on sanitation employees in Lake Worth Beach

A Lake Worth Beach man is in jail after investigators say he fired shots at a group of sanitation employees.

It happened Tuesday afternoon on South Lakeside Drive in Lake Worth Beach where investigators with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office responded to a shooting.

Court records show the victims, all employees with the City of Lake Worth Beach Sanitation Department, reported a man on a bike started shooting at them.

According to court records, the suspect was Oleg Arshinov of Lake Worth Beach. Court records show the employees told investigators that Arshinov originally approached them and told the workers they needed to move their trucks. The workers explained they would move when they were done collecting trash bins but Arshinov began threatening them.

Investigators said, "[the victim] said Arshinov got in his face and [the victim] hit him after telling him several times to get out of his face."

Jamie Brown, Interim City Manager and Director of the Public Works Department, sent WPBF the following statement:

"Yesterday, there was an incident involving City of Lake Worth Beach Public Works employees and a man with a weapon on a bicycle.

Our dedicated solid waste collectors work hard at their jobs, and we are saddened they were threatened while trying to do their jobs.

Fortunately, no one was hurt, and we thank the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office for their quick action to apprehend the man."
