A Gwinnett County felon who picked on the wrong guy during a bout of alleged road rage near Loganville was ordered held without bond at his first court appearance Friday.
Police told Channel 2 Action News that Christian Brock, 21, of Dacula, tried to run another driver off Georgia 20 around 11 p.m. Wednesday. It didn't end well for Brock. The other driver was Deputy Paul Frederick of the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, who was commuting to work in his own car.
The deputy told Channel 2 Action News that the driver swerved to hit him two or three times.
"I made every attempt to avoid the situation, slowing down, stopping and he still tried to run into my vehicle," Frederick said in a report by the TV station Thursday.
Frederick said he called dispatch, and Gwinnett County police officers arrested Brock. When police searched his car, Frederick said they found a gun, loaded and cocked.
The deputy told Channel 2 Action News that police also found Tasers, drugs and black gloves.
Brock, who was charged with reckless conduct, aggressive driving, marijuana possession, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and violation of probation, appeared in court at the Gwinnett County Jail on Friday morning, and a magistrate ordered him held without bond until his preliminary hearing on April 21.
Brock told Judge Phyllis Russell that he had been unemployed since November, and asked the judge for a court-appointed attorney.
