Deputies in Hillsborough County say they arrested a 29-year-old man after he allegedly threatened another driver with a gun during a road rage incident on I-75.

Tuesday, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said Jordan Patascher was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and driving while having his license revoked.

HCSO deputies said the road rage incident happened on July 29 just before 6:30 p.m. In video released by deputies, coordinates indicate that the incident happened along I-75 in the Brandon area.

Dashcam footage of the incident shows the moment when Patascher is seen driving a truck and, as he apparently tries to switch lanes, pulls out and points the gun at the driver.

Deputies say they learned about Patascher threatening another driver and after the investigation developed, HCSO determined that Patascher had allegedly switched his license plate after the road rage incident. Deputies said he did that to avoid being identified.

Patascher was arrested on July 31 by the Pasco Sheriff's Office in connection with the road rage investigation, HCSO said.

According to Pasco County Jail records, Patascher is currently still being held at the Pasco County Detention Center in Land O' Lakes.
