Woman victim of road rage

•LAWRENCEVILLE - A 52-year-old Lawrenceville woman was intimidated by another motorist's aggressive driving Thursday on Sugarloaf Parkway near Ga. Highway 316.

The woman told police she was stopped at a traffic light at 11:45 a.m. when the light turned green and she slowly proceeded through the intersection. The woman said she was driving slowly to avoid causing her poodle dog to be flung about in the vehicle, according to the police report.

A man in a black Ford F150 apparently became angry and pulled around the victim's vehicle, slamming on his brakes once he got in front of her car. The suspect continued to keep pace with the woman while driving in the lane next to her and kept creeping into her lane.

The suspect drove off when the victim yelled for help to another man in the parking lot.
