A 26-year-old woman was stopped at a light at Pine Lakes Parkway and Belle Terre Parkway Aug. 7 when a silver 2011 Dodge Ram pulled up next to her, cut her off and sped south on Belle Terre Parkway, she told deputies.
The woman told deputies the pickup turned onto northbound Bayside Drive, but that it then “pulled to the side of the road,” a deputy paraphrased her statement in the report, and a man got out of the truck and walked toward the woman’s car holding a black handgun.
The woman said she and another woman in the car argued about waiting at the light as the man approached with the gun.
She said the man pointed the gun at her and “made racial remarks,” according to a Sheriff’s Office report — the man was white, and the woman was black — and that she then drove off, and later returned to Bayside drive and saw the truck in a driveway.
The other woman, a 46-year-old, told the story differently. She said that the woman she was with — the driver — had “followed him” onto Bayside Drive, according to the report. The man then “pulled into a driveway” — not along the side of the road — and then got out with the handgun and began yelling, she said, and she told the younger driver to drive off.
Deputies found the man and spoke to him, but his statement was redacted in the case report.
The deputy returned to the women and said he would not make an arrest “due to conflicting statements," according to the report.
The younger woman said she wanted to sign a charge for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The deputy completed the required forms and submitted them to the State Attorney’s Office.
