Indy man charged with pointing a gun, intimidation during I-465 road rage incident

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Police have arrested a man they say pointed a gun at another driver this week during a road rage incident on Interstate 465 in Indianapolis.

Douglas Tandy, 59, of Indianapolis, was arrested by state troopers this week and preliminarily charged with felony intimidation with a deadly weapon, pointing a firearm and unlawful gun possession. The charges stem from a Tuesday road rage incident on I-465.

ISP was called around 11 a.m. Tuesday by a driver on 465 who reported a man pointing a firearm at them near East Street. Troopers were able to identify a suspect vehicle and tracked it to Franklin.

Inside the car – which police said is owned by Tandy – they found a Taurus revolver similar to the one described by witnesses. Tandy was then arrested and booked into the Marion County Jail.

Final charging information will be determined by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. Tandy currently is charged with two Level 6 felonies and one Level 5 felony.

“Since January 1, 2024, Indiana State Troopers have investigated 53 shootings on Indianapolis area interstates and an additional 213 incidents of road rage that involve someone pointing or displaying a firearm but not firing shots,” ISP said in a news release Wednesday.

Anyone with additional information on the road rage incident is being asked to contact State Police. To make an anonymous report, call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-TIPS.
