A 24-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested after he allegedly pointed a gun at another driver following a traffic crash in West Allis.

The two-vehicle crash happened around 9 a.m. March 5 at South 108th Street and West Theodore Trecker Way, according to West Allis police.

After the crash, police said the Milwaukee man, who was driving a rented U-Haul van, pointed a handgun at the other motorist, a 60-year-old man from Racine, and demanded his driver’s license.

The Racine man fled the area and called police.

The Milwaukee man continued driving north on South 108th Street until he was pulled over by Wauwatosa police at North Mayfair Road and West Burleigh Street. He was taken into custody and police found a gun in the van’s glove box, police said.

The man was taken to the West Allis Police Department and booked on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon.
