West Bloomfield Federal Agent Draws His Gun During 'Road Rage' Incident

A 44-year-old West Bloomfield Township man who identified himself as a federal agent drew his weapon during a "road rage" incident involving a Farmington Hills man last Friday afternoon in the area of Nine Mile and Middlebelt. 

According to Farmington Hills police, officers drove to Seven Mile Road and Middlebelt, where Livonia officers were talking with both drivers. The Farmington Hills man told police that the West Bloomfield Township man cut him off and forced him into on-coming traffic while merging into a lane just south of East Middle School.

The Farmington Hills man said he and the other driver pulled over, exchanged words, and the other driver pulled a gun on him and displayed a badge.

The report indicated that witnesses told police the Farmington Hills man was aggressive toward the other driver, who identified himself as a police officer and pulled his weapon after the Farmington Hills man began walking toward him.

The West Bloomfield man told police he feared for his safety and that of his 17-year-old daughter, who was in the vehicle with him. Police did not take either driver into custody, according to the report.
