As reported by WBIR of Knoxville, Tennessee.
The Highway Patrol has charged a Murfreesboro psychiatrist with three counts of aggravated assault after an apparent road rage incident on Monteagle Mountain.
Safety Department spokeswoman Julie Oaks says the incident occurred shortly after noon yesterday as two minivans were descending the mountain, eastbound on Interstate 24.
The trooper's report says a Nissan Quest carrying an adult and two eleven-year-olds from Tullahoma was exiting the highway when three shots were fired from a Dodge Caravan, with at least one striking the Nissan.
The driver got back onto the interstate, followed the Dodge and called police.
Trooper John Scissom stopped the Dodge near Kimball and found three spend shell casings in the glove compartment and a pistol under the front passenger's seat.
He arrested Dr. Alex Abelardo Fider, identified as a psychiatrist at the VA hospital in Murfreesboro. He was a passenger in the van being driven by his wife.
Fider was released today on a $10,000 bond, pending a September 12th court appearance.
