An actor with bit parts in movies and television is now playing the role of inmate after he was arrested for shooting a mother of three in the face in a road rage incident in New Jersey earlier this month.

Ernest Wesley Heinz, 46, was charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, Galloway Township Police said.

Police responded to a 911 call on September 11 from Maritza Arias-Galva, who called police and said she’d been shot in the face by a man in another vehicle who fled onto the campus of Stockton University, prompting an hours-long lockdown of the campus. Heinz was later arrested at his home in Port Republic.

Arriving officers found Arias-Galva with a gunshot to the face. She described her assailant’s vehicle as a white Honda SUV and her attacker as a man with a blond ponytail.

She was taken by ambulance to Atalicare Regional Medical Center while police launched their search for the suspect.

Court records say Heinz raced ahead of Arias-Galva’s car and cut her off as she was attempting to merge, WCAU reported. After she passed him again, he pulled along side her at an intersection outside the university entrance.

Her son, Victor Feliz-Arias, told the station that his mother told him Heinz threatened her.

“He said, ‘I’m going to kill you today. Today, I’m gonna take care of you.’ That’s, that’s what she told me he said,” Feliz-Arias said. “She put the window up and he shot out the window anyways.”

Feliz-Arias said his mother is recovering but may have permanently lost sight in her right eye.

“For me to think that somebody decided to shoot my mom for no reason, I still don’t get it,” he said.

Heinz has had parts in the tv series “The Sopranos,” the movie “The Prestige,” and the video game “Resident Evil,” among other small parts, according to his IMDB page.

He is being held pending a detention hearing, which has now been postponed twice, Breaking AC reports.
