Brick Man With Pellet Gun Charged In Road Rage Incident: Police

JACKSON, NJ — A Brick Township man was arrested last week after he allegedly threatened another driver with a pellet gun during a road rage incident, police said.

Jackson police were called to Cedar Swamp Road about 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, May 24, where the caller told police a man had brandished a handgun during the incident, Jackson Police Capt. Steven Laskiewicz said.

Police pulled over a vehicle matching the description from the caller in the area of Cedar Swamp Road and Evergreen Court and during the motor vehicle stop found an Air Soft gun that resembled a Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun, Laskiewicz said.

The driver, a 29-year-old man from Brick whose name was not released, was charged with making terroristic threats and unlawful possession of a weapon, Laskiewicz said.

He was released on summons pending a court appearance.
