Chief E.O. Shelton Investigated for Road Rage

The Columbia Daily Herald is reporting that Ethridge police chief E.O. Shelton is being investigated for a possible case of road rage that allegedly happened in Columbia earlier this week.

According to the report, the incident happened on Highway 43 Wednesday at five. The report said Columbia resident Thomas Jagger told them he was “cut off” by man driving a red Ford Explorer with Lawrence County tags.

He told the paper he then rolled down his window to speak with the man and they got into an argument. He said the man then pulled a gun on him. After telling the man he was a policeman, he showed his badge and drove north on 43.

Columbia police said they will let the alleged victim decide if he wants to press charges or turn the matter over to District Attorney General Mike Bottoms for review.

Bishop said the agency will let the victim decide whether to press charges.
