A retired Memphis police sergeant has been indicted on a charge of aggravated assault in an incident of road rage, the office of the Shelby County District Attorney General said Wednesday.

David Meskenas was charged with pointing a gun at a 60-year-old motorist on Feb. 10, 2015 while traveling in the area of Interstate 240 and Norris Road.

The victim said the person with the gun was driving a dark gray van with a government license plate and also showed him a gold badge. The victim said he feared for his safety, according to an affidavit.

“The civilian motorist wrote down the van’s tag, filed a complaint with the police department and provided a description of the driver,” according to a news release.

Meskenas, 48, was released on his own recognizance.
