Man arrested after replica gun pulled in Moorhead road rage incident

Moorhead police have arrested a 19-year-old man from Fargo, N.D., after a road rage incident this weekend.

Officers were called Saturday afternoon after a passenger in a vehicle reportedly pointed a handgun at passengers in another vehicle after they honked their horn at the suspect vehicle.

Police tracked down the suspect vehicle and found two men inside the car. One of the men was arrested and booked into the Clay County Jail on several tentative charges, including making terroristic threats.

Police searched the vehicle and found three replica handguns, one of them matching the description given by the victims. No real firearms were found.

The suspect makes his first court appearance Monday.
