Road Rage Lands Deputy Behind Bars

A Hillsborough County detention deputy got to see the inside of a jail cell Tuesday following a road rage incident in Seffner that involved him pulling a gun on another motorist.

The altercation unfolded around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday as the off-duty deputy, Reginald Migues, 57, and Arthur Langley, 41, of Tampa argued following a traffic dispute that took place along Williams Road and U.S. 92 in the Seffner area. Both men pulled over at 5520 Carmack Road in Seffner and Migues got out of his vehicle, wrote Det. Larry McKinnon in an email to media.

As Migues approached, Langley got out of his vehicle, but Migues took out a Glock, chambered a round and pointed it at the other driver, McKinnon wrote. Langley got back into his car and called 911.

During the course of the investigation, Migues admitted to loading and chambering the gun, McKinnon said. Migues was arrested around 5 p.m. Tuesday, charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was suspended without pay pending completion of the termination process.

Migues was released from the Orient Road Jail on $2,000 bond, jail records indicate.
