Two Greeley teenagers were cited Monday night following a report of road rage involving a loaded pistol in west Greeley.

The incident occurred about 7 p.m. in the 4900 block of 29th Street. The victim reported to police he was involved in a road rage-type incident in which the passenger of another car pointed a handgun at him.

The victim provided a description of the vehicle to police and officers were able to track down the car in the 3700 block of 24th Street. One of the suspects had a backpack, which contained the loaded pistol, an undisclosed quantity of a Schedule 2 narcotic and drug paraphernalia consistent with distribution, according to police reports. It was later learned the pistol, along with several other weapons, had been stolen in a burglary in Wyoming.

The driver and the passenger are not being identified because they are both 17 years old. One was released to his parents with a summons for a court date. The other was booked in to the Platte Valley Youth Detention Center pending an appearance before a magistrate.

Both boys were arrested on numerous charges, some of which are felonies. The charges were forwarded to the Weld County District Attorney’s Office for review and formal filing. The investigation is ongoing.
