COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. () – A Columbia County man told deputies that he was chased by an angry man who accused him of sleeping with his wife.
Reports say the victim left Ft. Eisenhower Tuesday night and was headed home to Augusta on Gordon Highway when a truck began riding next to him flashing its lights, trying to wave him down. The man slowed and rolled down his window and heard the other man say, “You’re sleeping with my wife!” The victim told the man he had the wrong guy, then detoured towards Harlem to lose the angry man.
The victim reportedly found an empty parking lot and turned off his lights, that’s when the suspect opened the door and pointed a gun. The victim floored the car and ended up in a retention pond near the parking lot. That’s when he said he heard gun shots.
The victim jumped out of his car and ran towards some nearby woods to hide from the angry man. He said he waited for the angry man to leave before attempting to get his car out of the retention pond, but it was stuck.
A witness told deputies that he heard the gunshots in the parking lot and called 911. He said he saw a black SUV and red Sedan leave the parking lot.
No word on who the suspect was. The victim was not injured.
