Battle Creek, MI – A road rage confrontation on Interstate 94 this afternoon resulted in the arrest of a Pennfield man on weapons charges and felonious assault.
According to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 2:20 p.m. to a report of a man pointing a gun on eastbound I-94 near Mile Marker 108. A 31-year-old man from Norton Shores told authorities that the driver of a blue Chevrolet Cruze aimed a firearm at him while he attempted to pass.
