TEXARKANA, Texas - Police charged a man Thursday night after an alleged road rage incident.
A woman called the Texarkana, Texas, Police Department at about 6 p.m. Thursday and said that a man, who has been identified as Bradley Riddle, had shot at her car while they were driving near Kings Highway, according to a press release. She said that Riddle had followed her for a few minutes before turning off and was able to give the dispatcher a description of the man and his vehicle.
Riddle is being charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon, deadly conduct and DWI.
TTPD Officer Aaron Jones met the vehicle on Cooper Lane and turned around to stop it, the press release states. Riddle told him that he'd gotten mad at the other driver "because she was following him too closely and decided to stick his pistol out the window to fire a warning shot into the air."
Riddle said he had been drinking because he was upset about his dog dying.
He was arrested without incident and booked into the Bi-State Jail. His bond was set at $45,000.
