A pistol-packing driver targeted a Dothan man headed home from work last week, accentuating a growing road rage problem.
“He started flashing his weapon in the windshield,” Jake Watford recalled as he told News4 how his alleged assailant tailed him for several miles before firing the shot.
He said the incident began along Fortner Street and concluded with the shot about four miles away along Hartford Highway. Dothan Police Major Will Glover blames the rising number of road rage issues on more people keeping weapons in their automobiles and a lack of patience. While blaring horns, unflattering words, and flip-offs are usually the result of road rage, sometimes things get out of control.
