The incident that was originally described as a road rage incident began on Highway 6 between Navasota and College Station.
The arrest report from the Brazos County sheriff’s office says the 21 year old from College Station says he had “a pretty good idea” why he was pulled over.
The 21 year old accuses another driver, identified as a 55 year old local man, of initiating the incident by “aggressively” driving in front of him in Navasota.
The 21 year old said after he passed the 55 year old, the 55 year old continued his aggressive driving. The 21 year old said that scared him, so he got a handgun out of the glove compartment and displayed it but did not point the gun at the other driver.
The 55 year old told the deputy that the 21 year old was following him too closely so he tapped his brakes. That led the 21 year old to make a pass and start driving in both lanes.
The 55 year old said he passed the 21 year old near the Westward Ho exit when the 21 year old moved into the inside lane. During that pass is when the 55 year old said the 21 year old pointed the gun at him.
The 21 year old, Luke Gorena of College Station, is out of jail after posting a $3,000 dollar bond.

Outside the office windows at Bryan Broadcasting Tuesday morning (April 7), we saw on the northbound lanes of the freeway a traffic stop involving five patrol SUV’s from College Station police and one from the Brazos County sheriff’s office.
A CSPD spokesman tells WTAW News that the driver of the SUV that was stopped is under investigation for flashing a gun in a road rage incident.
