Man Fired Gun At Driver During Road Rage Incident In South Jersey: PD

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, NJ — A man was arrested Wednesday after police say he fired a gun during an apparent fit of road rage a week prior in Gloucester County.

Anthony Riccelli, 41, of Franklinville, was apprehended in Burlington County, where he was staying. He had been at large since he fired his weapon toward another driver Dec. 9 in Franklin Township, police said.

On the night of the incident, the victim told police that they were driving on Main Road when the suspect pulled up next to their vehicle, rolled down his window and fired a single gunshot at the victim.

Nobody was injured.

The victim gave police a description of the suspect and his vehicle registration.

Officers identified Riccelli as the shooter and found his vehicle later that night at a relative's house in Pine Hill. It was seized for evidence.

Riccelli, who remained at large, was charged with aggravated assault and weapons offenses.

On Thursday, detectives conducted surveillance on a Burlington County home where they believed Riccelli was staying. When the suspect left the home and started driving, police pulled him over.

Riccelli was arrested without incident. He was placed in the Salem County Correctional Facility, which provides jailing services for Gloucester County.
