3 Arrested, Guns Recovered Following Road Rage Incident

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Three people were arrested and two firearms were recovered following a road rage incident reported Monday evening in Sandy Springs.

Officers responded around 5:34 p.m. Dec. 11 to Roswell Road near the westbound entrance ramp of Interstate 285. A 22-year-old woman said she was in traffic when she cut off another car. At that point, three men exited that vehicle and "began banging on her windows," the department said on its Facebook page.

One of the men, police added, pointed a pistol at the victim, who fled the scene in her vehicle. Officers were able to track down the suspected car, a 2014 red Nissan Sentra, and conducted a traffic stop. A witness told police they saw one of the men run from the car and hide near a Jiffy Lube store along Roswell Road. That suspect was tracked down and arrested.

Two firearms, one of which was reported stolen, were recovered and the suspects were charged and transported to jail.

"This situation had the possibility of turning deadly," Sandy Springs police said. "Great job by all the officers involved."

Three suspects were arrested and charged connection to the incident:

• Tavarous Hodges, 17, of Decatur: charged with disorderly conduct;
• Tyler Marquist Stanley, 18, of Atlanta: charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and theft by receiving stolen property (handgun); and
• 24-year-old Dewayne Tywone Stanley of Atlanta: charged with disorderly conduct.

Sandy Springs police spokesperson said Dewayne Stanley was also wanted by Atlanta police and was taken into custody on that warrant.
