A man who said he was the target of road rage followed the gun-wielding driver to a Glen Burnie grocery parking lot, where police arrested the suspect.

Anne Arundel County Police officers were called Wednesday afternoon to the parking lot of the Wawa store located at 7699 Quarterfield Road in Glen Burnie for a report of an armed man with a gun.

The victim told police he was driving on Quarterfield Road with his child in the car when the driver of a Hyundai believed the victim cut him off in traffic. The suspect reportedly threatened the victim with a black handgun by pointing the weapon out his window.

Authorities say the victim followed the suspect to the Wawa parking lot and waited for police to arrive.

Officers who approached the suspect saw a black handgun on the front seat of the car. The suspect -- Raymond Anthony Nolan, 31, of 302 Georgia Ave. in Glen Burnie -- was arrested.

Authorities say the handgun used in the incident was a pellet gun. When officers searched Nolan’s car they reportedly found a small amount of marijuana along with multiple narcotic pain pills.

Nolan was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, disorderly conduct and two counts of CDS possession not marijuana.
