A Major Road Rage

A Cranston man charged in connection with a road rage incident in Massachusetts last week faced a judge yesterday. According to CBS 12 in Providence, 43 year old, Michael Sylvester, was apprehended Monday following an extensive investigation into the incident. Police said the incident happened Friday afternoon in Franklin, when the 23-year-old victim reported being shot at by another driver. The victim told officers he had made an abrupt turn in front of the suspect’s vehicle prior to the incident then sped up behind the victim’s car and fired several rounds from his driver’s side window. Sylvester faced a judge in Rhode Island Tuesday as a fugitive from justice and has been charged with two counts of possessing a large-capacity feeding device and cultivating marijuana. The judge set Sylvester’s bail at $200,000 with double surety on the fugitive from justice charge, and $10,000 with surety on the other charges.

 

Sylvester is scheduled to return to court for a special review next week.
