PAXTON, Massachusetts (WCVB) — Three people were arrested Wednesday after a reported road rage incident in Worcester, Massachusetts, ended at the Paxton Public Safety Complex, police said.
At about 9:10 a.m., the Wachusett Regional Emergency Communications Center received a 911 call from a driver who said their vehicle had been shot at while traveling on Pleasant Street, or Route 122, toward Paxton.
“Initially, it was reported that one vehicle was chasing another vehicle and shooting at it with a firearm. However, no evidence of a firearm or casings could be located within the reported area of the incident,” Sgt. Elise Miranda of the Worcester Police Department said in a statement.
The caller pulled into the public safety complex parking lot, and the suspect vehicle followed, Paxton police said. Officers stopped the vehicle at the entrance and detained the three people inside.
From Sky 5, one vehicle could be seen with what appeared to be a shattered rear window, and another vehicle could be seen being searched by law enforcement.
“All the staties were going up and down the road checking on both sides of the road to see if they could find the gun,” said Joseph Heyes of Paxton.
An investigation determined that the caller’s vehicle had been shot at with what appeared to be a pellet gun on Pleasant Street in Worcester before entering Paxton. No one was injured.
The three people from the suspect vehicle were arrested. Worcester police said the three suspects were all arrested on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and vandalizing property:
Carla Michelle Lopez-Reyes, 44 Raquel Lozada-Vega, 46 Roberto Carlos Crespo, 40 Holden and Leicester police, Rutland police and Massachusetts State Police also responded.
