MERRILL, WI (WSAU) — A Merrill man was arrested last Saturday for a case of road rage gone too far.
Officers received a call from a 16-year-old Merrill resident who said they were being followed by another vehicle very closely. The driver then reported that they had pulled off the road to an address on County Highway G in Pine River, and were followed by the suspected vehicle.
Investigators say a confrontation ensued between a passenger from the second vehicle and the teen who reported the incident, which escalated to the point where the man had to be restrained on the ground until officers arrived.
Officers later learned that the man was upset with how the teen was driving, and instructed the female driver of the car to keep following them. The vehicle had been tailing the teen for several miles before following them to the address on County Highway G.
The man, who was not identified, is facing charges of disorderly conduct in the incident.
