Albany woman arrested after I-90 road rage incident

ALBANY, N.Y. ( NEWS10 ) — State police announced the arrest of an Albany woman following an investigation into a highway road rage incident. Asani Brown, 22, is facing multiple charges.

On July 9 at 3:41 p.m., troopers responded to the report of a dispute on the Thruway in Albany. In the ensuing investigation, state police determined that during a road rage altercation, Brown allegedly drove recklessly, threw items at another person’s car, and came to a stop in the roadway in front of the victim’s car.

After stopping, Brown reportedly got out of her car, approached the victim’s driver-side window, and hit the window repeatedly until it broke. She then returned to her car and fled the scene before troopers arrived.

Further investigation resulted in Brown later being identified as a suspect. She was arrested on July 12 after surrendering herself to state police in Latham.

Brown was charged with second-degree reckless endangerment and fourth-degree criminal mischief, in addition to multiple vehicle and traffic law violations. She was then issued an appearance ticket returnable to the Albany City Court on August 1 before being released.
