Earlier today, the Maryland State Police announced the arrest of a man and seized two loaded handguns following an alleged armed road rage incident that occurred Saturday afternoon in Prince George’s County.

The accused road rager was identified as Kenyatta Von Williams Jr., 34, of Suitland, Maryland.  Following his arrest, Williams was charged with first and second-degree assault, and using a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence.  Officials transported him to the Prince George’s County Detention Center for an appearance before a court commissioner.

Background: Shortly after 3:20 p.m. on February 15, troopers from the Maryland State Police Forestville Barrack received a call for the report of an alleged road rage incident on the inner loop of Interstate 495, in the area of Route 210 in Prince George’s County.  The victim, who is not being identified at this time, told State Troopers the driver of a Porsche, later identified as Williams, reportedly pointed a firearm at him while traveling on I-495. No injuries were reported at the scene.

Troopers from the Maryland State Police Highway Gun Crimes Initiative assumed the investigation. Through review of dashcam and other data sources, Williams was identified as the suspect. Subsequently, investigators located his vehicle yesterday at a residence in Suitland.  Authorized search warrants on the vehicle and the associated residence resulted in the seizure of two loaded handguns.
