Pepper Pike Police Issue Warrants Following Multi-Highway Road Rage Incident

PEPPER PIKE, OHIO — Law enforcement in Pepper Pike confirmed that several arrest warrants are active for a suspect involved in a violent road rage encounter that stretched across multiple highways last week. The incident, which began on I-480, escalated as one driver followed another through the I-271 interchange before exiting onto Cedar Road. Investigators say the victim attempted to de-escalate the situation by making a U-turn, but the aggressor continued the pursuit. Once both vehicles were stopped, the suspect exited his car and approached the victim. According to the Pepper Pike Police record, the man tried to shatter the victim’s window and repeatedly kicked the vehicle’s door. While the car sustained damage, the driver wasn't physically harmed. A nearby motorist’s dash camera captured the entire sequence. This footage proved vital for the Pepper Pike Police Department, allowing officers to identify the suspect and file formal charges. Local authorities recommend these cameras because they provide objective evidence when drivers provide conflicting accounts of traffic disputes or accidents. Department officials advise anyone targeted by an aggressive driver to stay inside their vehicle with doors locked and windows up. It’s best to avoid eye contact or returning gestures that might further inflame the situation. If a driver continues to follow you, the safest course of action is to drive directly to the nearest police station or dial 9-1-1. Anyone with information regarding this case or the suspect's current location should contact the Pepper Pike Police Department at 216-831-1424. ------------------------------ At Cleveland 13 News, we strive to provide accurate, up-to-date, and reliable reporting.
