Cops: Road-rage driver shatters windshield with trailer hitch in Clayton
A road-rage suspect has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault after he repeatedly stopped his vehicle and then shattered a driver’s windshield in Clayton County, according to authorities.
The victim told police that 33-year-old Dominique Isaac Bowers drove his vehicle in front of his car and stopped abruptly on Ga. 85 at Gardenwalk Boulevard on Oct. 22 around 7:45 p.m.
A few miles later, after Bowers stopped his car abruptly again, the victim honked his horn. That caused Bowers to get out of his car and throw a trailer hitch at the victim’s windshield, shattering the entire screen, Clayton police wrote in a Facebook post. Bowers then returned to his car and drove off.
When police called Bowers on Friday about the incident, they said he confessed to the crime, the post said.
Bowers was booked into the Clayton County jail and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggressive driving, improper stopping, driving with a suspended license and criminal trespass, according to online jail records.
