#1 Road Rage Incident
On December 23rd, around 2:00 pm, deputies responded to a road rage incident at the 7600 block of 156th St. Ct. E. The victim reported the suspect tailgated her and continued to flip her off while she drove the speed limit. After the suspect passed the victim, the victim admitted to throwing a water bottle at the suspect’s car. The suspect car stops, and a female passenger gets out and uses scissors to crack the victim’s window before throwing the scissors at the victim’s car and leaving the scene. We are asking for your help in identifying the female passenger. If you know who she is, call our non-emergency number to speak with a deputy. Never participate in road rage, never pull over to engage with the other party, and get away if you can or drive to a nearby police station to report.
