MOUNT PLEASANT, WI -- A 58-year-old Pleasant Prairie man was arrested and the gun he was using was confiscated after police say he pointed a gun at a woman during a road rage incident.

Mount Pleasant Police say Christopher O'Bryan was arrested Tuesday just after 4 p.m. following a traffic incident near the 4300 block of Washington Ave.

Police say a woman sounded the horn on her vehicle in order to pass a vehicle driven by O'Bryan, after the woman said his vehicle was blocking the road. According to police reports, O'Bryan's vehicle pulled forward, and the woman was able to park in a nearby space.

Police said O'Bryan then turned his vehicle around, positioned it next to her vehicle. According to reports, O'Bryan rolled down his passenger-side window, and pointed a firearm at her while screaming obscenities. He then left the area.

Officers were provided the license plate of O'Bryan's vehicle, and went to his home in Pleasant Prairie. Police said O'Bryan was subsequently taken into custody, and transported to the Racine County Jail where he is being held on suspicion of endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct while armed and resisting an officer.

The firearm used in this incident was recovered, police said.
