Chattanooga police are investigating whether a false report was filed last week in road-rage incident involving a state ABC agent.
Shane Parrot, 21, and Connie Jump, 43, told police that, while driving on the 5300 block of Highway 58 on Nov. 1, a white Ford pickup truck began following them closely, according to the report.
When they stopped at a red light, the driver of the truck motioned for them to pull over, they told police. They did so and, when Parrot got out of the car, he said he saw the driver, later identified as Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission Agent Lanny Janeway, “cock and point a semi-automatic handgun at him.”
Janeway told police that he saw Parrot coming toward his truck and “felt the passenger was moving toward him in a threatening manner.” The agent said he pointed his fingers at Parrot but did not display his gun.
Jump said that she saw the gun displayed as she watched the event in the rearview mirror.
