Augusta driver wanted for pulling gun on woman for ‘cutting him off’

The suspect

Date: November 29, 2021

An Augusta driver snapped a photo of a guy who allegedly pulled a gun and yelled at her for “cutting him off,” authorities said.

Richmond County authorities are now seeking the public’s help in identifying the wanted suspect. It happened last Tuesday on the 3200 Block of Wrightsboro Road in Augusta.

The 42-year-old woman said she was at an intersection with Fox Trace around 3:30 p.m. Nov. 23 when the pictured suspect got out of his black Chevrolet sedan and pointed a gun at her. The woman pulled into Smart Grocery parking lot, and the man followed her and pointed a gun at her again.

He was yelling and cussing because he thought she cut him off, a sheriff’s report says. A female passenger in the suspect’s car jumped into the driver’s sat and left the man there. The suspect then ran into Fox Den Apartments.

If you can help identify the man, please contact Inv. Anthony Gregory at (706) 821-1451, or any On-Duty Investigator at the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office (706) 821-1020 or (706) 821-1080.
