HAMPTON, Va. (WRIC) — Virginia State Police arrested a man after he was caught on camera allegedly pointing a gun at another driver on Interstate 64.
Around 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 10, a female victim reported to police that a driver on I-64 had pointed a gun at her.
According to police, the victim had been driving onto I-64 East in the city of Newport News when another vehicle — a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro — was also trying to merge into interstate traffic causing the two drivers to exchange words.
Police said the driver of the Camaro — now identified as 58-year-old Eugene Timothy Trujillo — then pulled up alongside the victim and pointed a gun at her. The victim captured video of the incident as it was happening.
Trujillo then reportedly drove away and the victim pulled over when she found a Virginia State Police trooper who was parked in the median crossover.
After the victim reported the incident, the trooper launched an investigation identifying Trujillo and later charged him with brandishing a firearm, reckless driving, assault and reckless driving by using a firearm.
Trujillo received no bond. Further charges are currently pending, according to police.
