Man Shot Out Tire In Road Rage Incident: Police

FRIENDSWOOD, TX -- A Friendswood man was arrested after shooting out the tire of a vehicle he was chasing, police say, in a road rage incident on Sunday.

Police initially responded to a report of a hit-and-run accident in the 1300 block of S. Friendswood Drive at 7:41 p.m., according to Click 2 Houston.

Robert Charles Lay III, 34, of Friendswood, reported the hit-and-run and followed the other vehicle involved as he was on the phone with the dispatcher. The dispatcher asked Lay to stop, since the license plate he provided had matched the vehicle description.

But, Lay did not stop, Click 2 Houston reported police as saying. He followed the other driver into Pearland where he ran the hit-and-run driver off the road and shot out a tire on the car.

Lay was charged with deadly conduct by Pearland police, Click 2 Houston said, and the alleged hit-and-run is under investigation.
