A Buffalo teen is arrested after a road rage incident.
A seventeen-year-old girl from Buffalo was taken into custody by deputies after a reported road rage incident south of Humboldt in which a gun was allegedly pointed at occupants of another vehicle.
Around 8pm on Tuesday, September 17, two Chanute residents reported to the Humboldt Police Department that they had been traveling on Old U.S. Hwy 169 to Humboldt. A Jeep Liberty, reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed, passed and repeatedly braked in front of them. An occupant in the Jeep then allegedly pointed at the Chanute residents as they crossed the bridge near the Monarch Cement plant.
The Jeep and the driver, a seventeen-year-old female and a juvenile passenger were located and detained by the Iola Police Department at the Pete’s convenience store on the east side of Iola until a deputy arrived. A .45 caliber handgun was removed from the vehicle along with alcohol, nicotine and THC vapes, plus items alleged to be narcotics and drug paraphernalia.
The teen driver was taken into custody and transported to the juvenile detention center in Girard. The fifteen-year-old passenger in the vehicle was released to a parent.
The following charges are being forwarded to the Allen County Attorney’s Officer for consideration: Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon, Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Possession of a Firearm, Possession of Narcotics, Possession of THC, Possession of Alcohol by a Minor, Possession of Tobacco/Nicotine by a Minor, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
