A Florida man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly chased and shot at a man test-driving a motorcycle in Lake County.

Isaiah MacDonald was charged with multiple counts relating to the incident, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle, and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said they were told by the victim that he was test-driving the bike when he noticed a white Jeep Cherokee following him closely, WOFL reported.

An arrest affidavit says that the ride described the Jeep as “staying on his tail” and behaving aggressively, prompting him to speed up and make multiple turns in an attempt to evade him. But, he said, the SUV kept following.

At one point, the Jeep’s driver pointed a firearm out the window, and the bike rider said he heard two gunshots. The rider identified the driver as MacDonlad, who he said was a friend when the two were growing up but hadn’t been in contact in recent years. The victim showed officers a text he received after the incident, however, asking, “When’s a good time to come over?” The rider confronted him about the incident, and MacDonald denied involvement.

Police later located him, and he again denied involvement. Investigators say his story didn’t add up, however, and they saw a box of ammunition in the car. MacDonald consented to a search of the vehicle, and deputies found ammunition, drugs, and drug paraphernalia.

In addition to charges related to the shooting incident, MacDonald also faces drug possession charges.

MacDonald was released Monday on bond, Law&Crime said.
