SIGN UP The other driver told police that they were driving in the left lane when a black Dodge Ram pickup truck approached. The car suddenly braked to a stop in front of them, nearly causing a crash, authorities said.
The person said they continued driving when the pickup truck starting moving again, but was brake-checked again a short time later, according to police.
That's when the driver tried to let the pickup truck pass but instead, the driver pulled up and pointed a gun at them. Brower reportedly said, "I'll shoot you" to the other driver, who then accelerated to try and create distance, troopers said.

Brower was later arrested and he faces charges including first-degree threatening and breach of peace.
