Two people face charges after what police are calling a “road rage” incident near Prescott.
Grenville County OPP say they received a report shortly after 10 a.m. Friday from a driver on Highway 401 traveling eastbound near Prescott.
The driver reported that a person in another vehicle had flashed a handgun to them following a “road rage” incident on the highway.
Officers quickly found the vehicle as it continued northbound onto the highway, where police say a high-risk traffic stop was safely conducted. The two people inside were arrested and a handgun, later determined to be an air pistol, was found inside the vehicle.
An 18-year-old from Brampton and a 20-year-old from Caledon were charged with possession of an imitation weapon for a dangerous purpose.
They were both later released from custody and are set to appear in court in Brockville, on Nov. 22.
