Federal Agent Draws Gun During 'Road Rage' Incident in Farmington Hills

The following information was supplied by the Farmington Hills Police Department. Arrests and charges do not indicate a conviction.

A 44-year-old West Bloomfield Township man who identified himself as a federal agent drew his weapon during a "road rage" incident involving a Farmington Hills man Friday afternoon in the area of Nine Mile and Middlebelt. 

According to the Farmington Hills police report, officers drove to Seven Mile Road and Middlebelt, where Livonia officers were talking with both drivers. The Farmington Hills man told police that the West Bloomfield Township man cut him off and forced him into on-coming traffic while merging into a lane just south of East Middle School. The Farmington Hills man said he and the other driver pulled over, exchanged words, and the other driver pulled a gun on him and displayed a badge.

The report indicated that witnesses told police the Farmington Hills man was aggressive toward the other driver, who identified himself as a police officer and pulled his weapon after the Farmington Hills man began walking toward him. The West Bloomfield man told police he feared for his safety and that of his 17-year-old daughter, who was in the vehicle with him.
