CORAL SPRINGS, FL – An alleged dispute between two drivers on Wiles Road in Coral Springs ended Saturday with one of the drivers flashing a gun and police arresting him, a police report said.
The incident happened shortly before 2 p.m. as the two drivers turned onto westbound Wiles Road from State Road 7, drove aggressively, and exchanged hand gestures, followed by one of the drivers pointing a gun at the other driver as they continued driving, the report said.
The driver who had the gun pointed at him spotted a police officer on Wiles Road and pulled his car in front of the driver with the gun to get the officer’s attention, the report said.
