The Citrus County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of a man who suffered a heart attack after a fight with a car salesman about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Johnny Dee Williams, 55, of Floral City and his son Patrick, 24, of Brooksville drove to Depot Auto Sales in Floral City on Tuesday to retrieve personal belongings from a car that had been repossessed from the elder Williams, the Sheriff's Office reported. Salesman Matthew Bohnak, 31, met the men outside and an argument ensued. The dispute quickly turned physical, and Williams' son separated the two men. Bohnak told sheriff's deputies that as the men prepared to drive away, the son ran to the driver's side, pulled his father from the vehicle and performed CPR. No charges are pending, but the Sheriff's Office and prosecutors are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.
