GAITHERSBURG, MD — A Virginia man has been extradited to Maryland to face an assault charge after allegedly pointing a gun at a woman during a road rage incident Oct. 14 in Barnesville, about 8 miles north of Gaithersburg.
David Anderson, 58, of Loudoun County, Virginia, was charged with first-degree assault.
Montgomery County police responded to a report of aggravated assault at approximately 8:53 a.m. Oct. 14. Police said the woman had passed a black Nissan Pathfinder that investigators later determined Anderson was driving.
Anderson then followed the woman and attempted to block her car with his vehicle before getting out and pointing a black firearm at her, police said.
Detectives identified Anderson and obtained an arrest warrant. On Nov. 5, the U.S. Marshals Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested him as he left his Virginia home.
A Nov. 9 search of Anderson's car uncovered a "pepperball" gun. On Friday, Montgomery County police announced his extradition to Maryland. He is being held without bond at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit.
