slide10A road rage incident ended with the suspect getting arrested for an entirely different crime yesterday mid morning. According to Under Sheriff Jim Wegner a woman was driving down Ridge Road in her mini van when an unidentified suspect in a truck was following close behind. The woman pulled over to allow the man to pass, but the suspect instead pulled over and exchanged words with the woman. Wegner indicated that the woman felt threatened by the suspects contact, but they parted ways and she went on her way to Lowe’s. In the Lowe’s parking lot as she was getting her child out of the mini van the man entered the parking lot and parked near her.
slide14 The woman immediately says she will call the cops and the subject said something along the lines of “your not worth it” and continued into the Lowe’s Store. The woman called the Sheriff’s Office and Deputies responded to the scene quickly. Deputies began by searching the store and attempted to contact the suspect over the PA system, but there was no response. As a deputy was exiting the store the man walks by and reveals that he is the suspect, and the deputy proceeds to initiate conversation about the incident as they make their way back to the suspect’s vehicle. There the man threw his bag of purchases on the truck seat and then proceeded to reach in his pocket and pull out a box which he puts under the seat. The Deputy asks about the box and it is revealed that the suspect had stolen the item from Lowe’s. The deputies on scene detained him and arrested the man for theft, possession of stolen property and obstruction. Wegner said the woman is considering prosecution as well for the man’s actions. We hope to have an identification of the suspect by noon.
