Three Arrested After Pellet-Gun Road Rage Incident in Massachusetts

The incident started shortly after 9 a.m. on Route 122 in Worcester. A motorist called 911, saying someone had fired at their vehicle during a roadway dispute that continued into neighboring Paxton.

The driver pulled into the Paxton Public Safety Complex, and the other vehicle followed. As that car tried to turn around near the entrance, officers stopped it and detained its three occupants.

Police determined that a pellet gun had caused damage to the caller’s car. Several windows were shattered, but no one was hurt. Officers initially suspected a conventional firearm, but found no casings and later concluded the damage was caused by a pellet gun.

The three people arrested were Carla Lopez-Reyes, 44; Roberto Carlos Crespo, 40; and Raquel Lozada-Vega, 46. Each faces charges of assault involving a dangerous weapon and intentionally damaging or defacing property. Worcester police are handling the investigation.
