JACKSONVILLE, Ark. — On October 21, officers with the Arkansas State Police arrested a 17-year-old from Jacksonville in connection to a 'violent' road rage incident that took place on Saturday, October 12, on I-30 in North Little Rock.
According to reports, a 39-year-old man from Maumelle was shot in the eye during the incident while driving behind the suspect.
The teen was charged as an adult for criminal attempt to commit capital murder, first-degree battery, committing a terroristic act, unlawful discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, and minor in possession of a firearm.
“We hope this incident illustrates for the public that when they report a road rage incident and follow through by making a report, the Arkansas State Police will do everything in their power to get justice and remove violent individuals from the streets,” said ASP Colonel Mike Hagar. “There are serious consequences for senseless violent acts like this.”
