LYNDEN, Wash. – A Lynden resident was arrested after learning the hard way that pointing a gun at someone during a road rage incident is not the wisest move.

Court documents say a driver on I-5 called police on January 25th after they witnessed another driver point a gun at them.

Dashcam footage captured the second car’s license plate, and police tracked down the owner to a home in Lynden.

The suspect told officers that both cars had been cutting each other off, and he thought that the victim had pointed finger guns at him.

The suspect, 55-year-old John Walden, did not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

He was released from the Whatcom County Jail on January 26th on $10,000 bond.
