Police later arrested Terry Nations.A Chattanooga woman reported that a man pulled a gun on her during a road rage incident in St. Elmo Tuesday night, and the man has since been arrested for aggravated assault.
Adrienne Cooper said she was driving home from downtown Tuesday evening when she noticed a red pickup tailing her closely over the bridge on Broad Street near 28th Street.
Cooper said the driver was aggressively tailing her and when the two made it to the light near Walgreens, Cooper said the man cursed and yelled at her and the two exchanged words. The man continued to honk his horn, flash his lights, “running up on my car, slamming his brakes really quick,” Cooper said, until she got to her street to turn off St. Elmo Avenue.
The man got so close to Cooper’s car that she thought he was going to hit her car, she said. That’s when Cooper decided to get out of her car to take photos of his license plate to report him to the police.
“He rolled down his window and pointed a gun at me,” Cooper said. “I ran back to my car.”
