Inset: Christopher John Walters (High Point Jail). Background: In a video allegedly shot by the victim, the suspect seems to be menacing others in different vehicles (WFMY/YouTube).
In a disturbing road-rage incident in North Carolina, a man allegedly threatened a fellow driver and her young son, according to local law enforcement.
Court records show that 48-year-old Christopher John Walters faces a misdemeanor charge for making threats, as revealed by Law&Crime’s investigation.
Walters’ troubles mounted, as just last Thursday he was detained on a separate accusation of female assault, according to a report by the Greensboro Police Department.
The chaotic scene unfolded on July 31, as a mother navigated Interstate 85 with her toddler. Walters became furious, reportedly after being beeped at for cutting her off, the woman explained to a local CBS affiliate WFMY.
In a video that circulated online, the defendant “appears to have made multiple verbal threats to a Greensboro woman,” according to police. He seemingly speeds up to look at the woman and yell.
“You are going to die,” the man in the video screams, as well as “I could kill you.”
The defendant made each claim three times, according to a warrant issued in the case.
Authorities added that “the threat was made in a manner and under circumstances which would cause reasonable person to believe that the threat was likely to be carried out and the person threatened believed that the threat would be carried out.”
The woman called 911 to report the incident, and the Greensboro Police Department filed the report. By the time a detective met with her, Walters was apparently already in the High Point Jail on the other charge.
In that case, the man reportedly pushed a woman in High Point, North Carolina, “into a dresser, causing a bruise to her arm.”
The defendant is next scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 8.
