Driver accused of firing BB gun during road rage incident in Berks

An Alsace Township man was arrested Thursday after allegedly shooting a BB gun at another driver during a road rage incident.

Daniel Iezzi, 61, of the first block of Hemlock Lane remained free following arraignment Thursday in front of District Judge Kyley Scott in Reading Central Court on charges of terroristic threats, simple assault, possessing an instrument of crime, discharging an air rifle on a highway, disorderly conduct and harassment.

According to state police:

Troopers were dispatched to the 3000 block of Pricetown Road in Alsace Township about 5:15 p.m. for a report of a road range incident involving a firearm.

When they arrived, the troopers spoke to the victim who told them he had gotten into an argument with the driver of another vehicle. The victim said the other driver turned left in front of him in an unsafe manner.

During the argument, the other driver pulled out what appeared to be a gun and fired five or six shots in his direction. The victim was not hit.

Police found the vehicle involved in the incident parked outside a nearby residence. They spoke to Iezzi, who admitted firing several shots at the victim with a BB gun.

The weapon was found inside Iezzi’s home and he was taken into custody.
