NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A North Providence woman is facing charges after Rhode Island State Police said she showed a handgun to another driver during a road rage incident.

According to police, the incident took place around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday on Route 146 in the area of Mineral Spring Avenue. The victim, a Scituate woman, told police she was trying to take the exit when a woman driving a black SUV in front of her repeatedly stepped on her brakes and waived a gun out of the window.

The suspect, later identified as Valerie Arce, then pulled up alongside the victim’s vehicle and displayed the gun again before driving off, police said. No shots were fired during the incident.

Using the description of the suspect and the license plate number provided by the victim, police located and arrested Arce at her home. A loaded .45 caliber handgun and magazine were found inside the SUV, according to police.

Arce, 26, was charged with license or permit required for carrying a pistol and disorderly conduct. She was arraigned at the Lincoln Woods Barracks and is due in court at a later date.
