Passenger Accused of Pointing Gun During Road Rage Incident by Hall Road

Two men were arrested Tuesday after one of them allegedly pointed a handgun at another driver during a road rage incident in Macomb Township, police said Thursday.

At approximately 6:47 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff's deputies said they were called to the Hall and Hayes area after a motorist reported someone waved a handgun at him. They pulled over a 19-year-old Shelby Township man and his 20-year-old passenger from Virginia Beach, VA in the Hayes and 21 Mile area.

When deputies approached the GMC Denali, they smelled marijuana. The men denied having a handgun, but when deputies searched the vehicle, they found a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson in the center console, the Sheriff's Office reports.

The motorist who reported the incident told police words were exchanged after the Denali driver almost hit his Mustang. The passenger pulled out the gun, "put one in the chamber" and pointed it at him, the victim told police.

The Denali passenger, Salvatore Putrus Haroon, was arrested on suspicion of felonious assault and carrying a concealed weapon while the driver, Antonio Ibrahim Harmis, was charged with possession of marijuana, police said. Haroon was held on a $10,000 personal bond, Harmis on a $100 bond that he posted, the Sheriff's Office said.
