Damion Krishna Parshad, 35, of Lehigh Acres is facing two felony charges after deputies said he was involved in a road rage incident during which he falsely claimed law enforcement status and then struck a man with his car.

The man who was hit told deputies that Prashad had been driving erratically and then blocked his car along a Lehigh Acres roadway early Monday morning. The man said Prashad pulled out his wallet as if showing a badge and said he was law enforcement.

After driving off, the victim said Prashad began following him, driving erratically. The victim stopped and got out of his car and said Prashad struck him with his car. The man, who was not seriously hurt, fell on the hood of Prashad's car and grabbed a wiper blade, ripping it from the car.

Prashad was charged with aggravated assault and impersonating an official. He was released from jail on $15,000 bond and faces arraignment May 22.
