MARTIN COUNTY — A North Carolina man was arrested Wednesday night after a road rage incident on Florida's Turnpike, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Two people from St. Cloud in a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado were driving northbound on the turnpike near mile marker 125 when a newer-model Chevrolet Corvette attempted to brake-check their vehicle, according to an FHP news release. As the Silverado tried to pass the Corvette, the driver, William R. Adams, 35, of Fletcher, North Carolina, pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the occupants of the Silverado.

The people in the Silverado called FHP, and troopers conducted a traffic stop of the Corvette near mile marker 138, the Becker Street exit at the St. Lucie County line, the release states. Adams was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Alcohol was not a factor, according to the FHP.
