"mr. billman was not believing that the victim was doing his job properly, basically," hermantown police sgt. mark gunderson said. gunderson billman swung the backhoe and struck the worker, who was taken to st. mary's hospital with several bruises but no broken bones. billman, who was charged with second-degree assault, told police he had only intended to "nudge" the worker with the backhoe to get his attention. investigators said billman admitted he believed his actions were stupid. source
