A simple dispute between drivers can escalate quickly into actual violence or firearms charges. In the last few months alone, there have been numerous arrests made related to road rage assaults. Many of these incidents involved firearms, while others involved only vehicles themselves being weaponized. In June, a Naperville motorist was arrested for assault after allegedly drawing a firearm on another driver during a road rage incident. Another Illinois arrest involved a cyclist reaching into a vehicle and stabbing the driver. Drivers on social media have casually reported a large number of aggressive driving incidents that did not result in arrests and may have been politically motivated, although these reports are unverified. If you have been charged with assault, reckless driving, or a weapons offense after a dispute with another driver, you need an experienced Grundy County, IL criminal defense attorney to help you.
