Police arrested a man in Chandler after he allegedly rear-ended a vehicle because he felt the driver cut him off, police said. He was arrested Wednesday morning on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Witnesses said they saw Douglas Don Hobbs, 41, hitting his accelerator after the car in front of him came to a complete stop at a traffic light in a right turn lane at Warner and Alma School roads, police said.
According to a police report, Hobbs told police that he felt the female driver cut him off after she merged in front of his vehicle because of lane restriction eastbound on Warner Road, just east of North Pennington Drive.
Hobbs began tailgating the victim and followed her, leaving only 3 feet between the vehicles, police said.
After the collision, the victim got out of her car to check her 2-year-old daughter and Hobbs began yelling at her and grabbed her arm, police said.
According to police, there was major damage to the victim's vehicle and only minor damage to Hobbs' vehicle.
