Man arrested after road confrontation
Arkansas State Police pulled over and arrested a man after he appeared to point an AR-15 rifle at another driver on Interstate 40 Thursday morning, an arrest report states.
The driver called 911 and followed the vehicle onto U.S. 67, where a state trooper observed a 30-year-old man driving erratically, according to the report.
The trooper arrested him and found an AR-15 in the back seat that matched the firearm the 911 caller described, the report states.
