A Moberly man was charged with a felony after he allegedly pointed a gun at another man during a drunken road rage incident on Monday evening.
Roben Teter Jr., 29, was charged in Randolph County with unlawful use of a weapon. An arraignment is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Wednesday.
The probable cause statement says Teter pulled out a gun and waved it at the victim’s face in the area of North Morley and Coates streets. Teter’s eyes were bloodshot and watery when police met with him and he smelled like alcohol, the statement says.
Teter allegedly told police that the other vehicle cut him off, but alleged he did not have a gun, the statement says. The victim allegedly told police that his vehicle is “slow to shift” and believed Teter was driving erratic because the victim’s vehicle was not going fast enough, the statement says.
Both vehicles ended up in the same parking lot and Teter allegedly got out of the vehicle and started waving the gun at the victim’s head, the statement says.
Police found a loaded gun in Teter’s vehicle and claimed Teter gave a breath test that resulted in a .106, which is higher than the legal limit to drive, the statement says.
