Police: Woman Fires Handgun In Road Rage Fit

POSTED: Thursday, February 22, 2007

A Macomb Township woman is in custody and being held on a cash bond in an alleged case of road rage.

Officials said Bernadette Headd, 39, was driving her Chevrolet Cavalier and entered westbound Interstate 94 from Hall Road. Headd claims that a man, who is 46 years old and from New Baltimore, driving a Dodge Ram, came close to the rear of her vehicle, according to a Macomb County sheriff's news release.

Headd pulled next to the Dodge, presented a semiautomatic handgun and fired a round of shots at the man's tires, according to officials.

The sheriff's department said the New Baltimore man pulled behind Headd's car and proceeded to follow her until he spotted a Macomb County Sheriff's vehicle.

Officials pulled Headd over and she was taken into custody.

Headd was arraigned on Thursday on assault with a deadly weapon, which is a felony punishable by up to four years in prison; discharge of a firearm from a motor vehicle, a felony also punishable by up to four years in prison; and felony firearm, which is punishable by up to two years in prison.

Bond was set a $50,000 cash or surety.
