An Idaho resident is facing charges after allegedly threatening a repossession agent with a 12-gauge shotgun, declaring, “I’ll blow your f—ing head off,” when attempts were made to repossess his John Deere tractors, according to law enforcement officials.

Cade Carter, aged 45 from Fremont County, reportedly shouted, “F— you, you’re not taking my tractors,” as detailed in a probable cause affidavit accessed by Law&Crime.

He allegedly escalated the confrontation by saying, “I’ll f—ing kill you,” while brandishing the shotgun and blocking the repossession agents from removing his equipment.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports that the incident unfolded on January 25th at around 8 p.m. when one of the agents was in the process of driving away with Carter’s tractor. At that moment, Carter intervened by stepping in front of the vehicle and issuing threats from the ground. Authorities were summoned to the scene shortly thereafter.

Upon arriving, deputies were informed by the repo man that he and a colleague were legally reclaiming the tractors from Carter’s Teton property when Carter emerged from a nearby structure wielding the shotgun. He allegedly pointed the firearm at both agents before specifically targeting the individual seated inside the tractor.

According to the affidavit, “[The agent on the ground] explained they were repossessing tractors for John Deere.” It further states, “Carter stood in front of the tractor and aimed the shotgun at [the agent] who was seated inside.”

While the repo man inside the tractor was being threatened, cops say the other one began wrestling and fighting with Carter on the ground over the shotgun. “[The agent] grabbed the barrel of the shotgun and forcibly disarmed Carter, knocking him to the ground.”

The repo men reportedly left Carter’s property without the tractors and then contacted police. They both told cops they felt their lives were “threatened” and that they “feared” for their safety.

Deputies took Carter into custody and charged him with two felony counts of aggravated assault.

Online court records show that Carter is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Feb. 25. He was released on a $50,000 surety bond.
