Driver sentenced for throwing axe at motorist

Motorist accused of throwing wrench at vehiclePORT ORCHARD, Wash. – A 32-year-old man was booked and jailed for investigation of reckless endangerment and fourth-degree assault on Friday after allegedly throwing a wrench at another vehicle on a highway.

The tool broke a vehicle's driver's-side window, showering glass inside the vehicle, and struck the driver in his left shoulder on State Highway 16. The man driving the vehicle wasn't injured.

The State Patrol said investigators were unable to determine the reason for the assault.

Witnesses traveling westbound on the highway told troopers the man had been passing vehicles and traveling at a high rate of speed when he threw the wrench "for no apparent reason."

The man was arrested at his house.

Driver sentenced for throwing axe at motorist

LINCOLN, Neb. – A driver who threw an axe at another motorist, wounding him, has been sentenced to 37 days in jail. The man, 51, was sentenced Friday in Lancaster County Court for third-degree assault and criminal mischief after pleading no contest to the charges.

Authorities said two vehicles were traveling near an intersection on June 13 and one cut in front of the other, prompting both vehicles to stop. The man threw a 3-foot axe through the other driver's passenger window, striking him in the ribs with the blunt end.

OKay... I know you get frustrated by other people, but unless you're a combatant in a war, launching things out the window at them is *NOT* the best way to take care of things! I mean, not only do you get the chance to meet Bubba and his other cellmates, but you'll probably end up losing your axe or wrench, too!
