FORT PIERCE -- An alleged case of road rage involving deer antlers and a handgun sent two men to jail, according to a report obtained today.
Keith Ransford, 23, of the 2100 block of Valencia Avenue, told sheriff's investigators that he and another man were involved in an altercation Wednesday as they traveled north on U.S. 1.
At Midway Road, Ransford and Ronny White, age and address not available, got out and started arguing. White then allegedly whipped out some deer antlers and tried to hit Ransford, the report says.
Ransford then followed White's vehicle to Starr Avenue where White fired a pistol, leaving a bullet hole in Ransford's windshield. Ransford reportedly rammed White's vehicle before the shot was fired, the report says.
"White admitted he used poor judgment when he attempted to strike Ransford with the deer antlers," the report says. "But claimed he ultimately attempted to retreat from this situation by fleeing east on Midway Road and Ransford followed him."
