GRAND RAPIDS, MB — A man was taken into custody in Grand Rapids Thursday evening after allegedly pulling out a gun and showing it to another driver who honked at them.
The Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD) is calling the incident—which took place near the intersection of Ottawa Avenue NW and Lyons Street NW—a "high-risk traffic stop."
GRPD says that officers arrested the suspect around 7:30 p.m. Thursday after he had allegedly flashed a gun at another driver following a previous incident. The other driver had reportedly honked at the suspect when he didn't turn on a green light at a nearby intersection, police said.
