Delaware State Police have arrested a 30-year-old Clayton man for aggravated menacing and related charges following a road rage incident.

Police say three 17-year-old teenagers were traveling southbound Route 1 about 5:50 p.m., Aug. 21, when they were almost cut off by Russell H. Zern Jr. on a motorcycle. Both vehicles stopped for a red light at the Route 16 intersection, when Zern pulled up to the passenger’s side of the teens’ car and displayed a handgun. Zern continued to yell at the teens, spitting on the vehicle, and then he ripped off the gas cap before fleeing the area.

Troopers were able to identify Zern as the suspect, and he turned himself in at Troop 7 Aug. 22.

He was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, aggravated menacing, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and criminal mischief.

Zern was arraigned before the Justice of the Peace Court and released on $20,600 unsecured bond.
