(CBS DETROIT) – A Michigan man was arrested Monday in connection with a road rage incident on Interstate 75 in Oakland County.
According to Michigan State Police, the 38-year-old man from Ovid, Michigan, was found in possession of a handgun.
MSP says the Detroit Regional Communication Center received a call around 8:55 a.m. about an assault with a gun on the freeway and a description of the suspect vehicle and license plate.
Troopers located the vehicle in heavy construction traffic and conducted telephone interviews. The police arrested the driver and took him into custody pending the public prosecutor’s investigation. The weapon was also seized.
“Unfortunately, we still see drivers who can’t pass up minor traffic violations,” said 1st Lt. Mike Shaw. “This is one time when the heavy construction traffic was actually a good thing and helped get the suspect off the street before anyone got hurt.”
