Road rage suspect shot at car with children inside, Brookhaven police say
A Decatur woman was arrested in Brookhaven Friday morning after police said she fired multiple shots at a car with three young children inside.
An Acworth man was driving with his wife and their three kids, ages 3 to 6, when he claimed a newer model Acura cut him off as he tried to merge into traffic on East Roxboro Road near North Druid Hills Road. The driver of the Acura, Knokeisha Tonisha Jones, allegedly admitted to police she brandished a weapon but said it was never fired.
Police, however, found two bullet holes in the family’s vehicle. Both drivers stayed on scene to speak with officers, who responded about 9:30 a.m., according to Brookhaven police.
Investigators believe between two and seven shots were fired.
Jones was arrested on multiple counts of aggravated assault and cruelty to children in the first and third degrees. She was being held in the DeKalb County jail Friday afternoon, and her bond has not been determined.
