Maine Man Charged After Gunfire During Road Rage Confrontation

A 67-year-old Maine man is facing charges after authorities say a road rage confrontation escalated into an assault involving a gun and a fired shot.

The incident happened July 23 on Old Stage Road in Woolwich, according to a report from WGME.

The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office says Jamie Kramer allegedly cut off another vehicle before stopping in the middle of the road. Both Kramer and the other driver then got out of their vehicles.

When the other man attempted to take a picture of Kramer, deputies say Kramer pulled out a gun, pointed it at him and demanded that he hand over his phone.

According to WGME’s report, Kramer then allegedly chased the victim and struck him in the head with the gun.

Authorities say Kramer also fired one shot during the confrontation. The bullet did not strike the victim, and Kramer allegedly drove away from the scene afterward.

Deputies say the victim avoided serious physical injuries but was shaken by what happened.

Following an investigation, authorities located and arrested Kramer. He was charged with aggravated assault and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon.

Kramer was taken to the Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset. His bail was set at $1,000 cash.

Additional information about the case is available in the original report from CBS13/WGME.
