Police said a woman reported that she was driving eastbound on Square Lake Road near Franklin Road when a black Cadillac Escalade repeatedly swerved into her lane, nearly causing several crashes.
Officials said the woman told investigators she attempted to distance herself from the SUV, but it continued following her.
According to police, the situation escalated when both vehicles came to a stop alongside each other.
The driver of the Escalade lowered his window, and a front-seat passenger, who police said was wearing a ski mask, pointed an AR-style pistol at the woman.
Officers said they quickly located the Escalade and conducted a felony traffic stop.
The driver, Larry White, and the passenger, Allen Udell, were taken into custody without incident.
Police said a search of the vehicle recovered a black Sig Sauer Rattler AR-style pistol and a ski mask.
Udell was arraigned on May 29 in the 48th District Court on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon, also known as felonious assault.
White was also arraigned on May 29 and charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
Both men were issued $250,000 cash or surety bonds and are scheduled to return to court on June 9 and June 16 for further proceedings.
