One arrested after road rage altercation

A 20-year-old Lawrence woman was arrested early Thursday morning after being involved in a road rage incident.

According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Ted Bordman, the incident reportedly began after two groups of individuals were involved in an altercation at Wilde’s Chateau, 2412 Iowa St. The two groups entered different vehicles and left the area heading north on Iowa Street shortly before 2 a.m.

Bordman said one of the occupants of one vehicle allegedly threw a bottle at the other car and swerved into the other vehicle on several occasions. A passenger in the vehicle called police as the incident was in progress, fearing for their safety.

Bordman said the two vehicles turned and headed east on 23rd Street. The vehicles drove past Massachusetts street, where an officer was able to witness the incident in progress.

The suspect vehicle then attempted to make a right-hand turn where there was no turn. The result was a vehicle accident in which the vehicle’s occupants, one man and three women, were not injured.

The 20-year-old driver of the suspect vehicle was booked into the Douglas County Jail about 2:52 a.m. on charges of aggravated assault.
