Arrest made in ‘road rage incident’ against GOP lawmaker Max Miller
Police have arrested a 36-year-old man in what they're calling a "road rage incident" involving Ohio Rep. Max Miller (R), according to WKYC-TV.
The suspect was identified as Feras Hamdan of Westlake, Ohio. The charge is a misdemeanor count of aggravated menacing.
"In details released Friday morning...Hamdan voluntarily turned himself in with counsel. An arrest warrant had been issued after Miller signed a criminal complaint for aggravated menacing and motion for a protection order," the news station reported.
A press release from the Rocky River Police Department stated, "Congressman Miller reported he was driving on Interstate 90 when the suspect threatened him and his family along with making antisemitic slurs. The suspect's vehicle left the area prior to the arrival of responding officers."
Miller released a statement on the incident, writing, "I will continue to fight against antisemitism, Islamophobia and all other forms of hate. You have an issue, take it to our office. You want to run me off the road, that’s a different story. We know who you are young man, and the police are going to be paying you a visit -- and I hope what you did this morning is worth it to you and anyone else who plans on doing this to anybody within our district, state or country."
