Masked driver not arrested for threatening fellow driver with metal bar at Pilot

A truck driver says he is concerned for the safety of himself and others after a driver afflicted with road rage was released back onto the highway immediately after a confrontation with police.

Truck driver Larry Hutton says that he was turning into the Pilot Travel Center in Perrysburg, Ohio on Tuesday, September 24th when another driver cut him off.

According to 13 ABC , Hutton then went around the second driver, but he cut him off again. Hutton then parked his rig and went into the truck stop, and that’s where the other driver met up with him face-to-face.

“He had his face covered and you could only see his eyeballs,” said Hutton, who describes the man as grabbing a metal cheater bar from the shelf and cornering him as he waited for a shower.

“He was pointing it at me asking me what my problem was and would I like for him to shove it down my throat,” Hutton continued. He says he then walked to the front of the store to leave and the man followed him, so the cashier called 911.

When police arrived, they identified the man as 50-year-old Terrance Collins of Louisiana. He was charged with aggravated menacing and issued a summons to appear in court. He was not taken into custody.

Hutton says Collins’ freedom worries him, and says the man is a safety hazard. “For somebody to be that aggregated [sic] like 15 minutes after and try to beat somebody is not a good person to be out on the road with.”

Collins is scheduled to be arraigned in court on Friday, September 27th.
