AUSTIN (KXAN) A fender bender ended with one of the drivers behind bars, according to Austin police.
In an arrest warrant, officers say that Austin resident Brent Lee Stover, 63, rear ended the victims car during traffic at the 1500 block of I-35 southbound on Dec. 7.
The victim told police he was sitting in traffic when it happened, and he got out of the vehicle to assess the damage. The man says he was trying to communicate with Stover, but that Stover became enraged because the man only spoke Spanish.
According to the warrant, Stover began yelling things like f*****g Latinos! and speak English! while pointing a pistol at the victim and his mother, who had come out of the vehicle to try to intervene.
The victim says the gun had a laser pointer and that Stover pointed it at his chest.
Police spoke to Stover and determined that his story that hed thought the victim was going to hit him, that he didnt remember when he pointed the gun at the two people was inconsistent.
Stover is charged with second-degree felony assault with a deadly weapon. His bail is set at $25,000 and he is now unable to possess a firearm.

Glad he can not legally own a gun but does not mean he wont have one next time he goes off

due to jurisdiction.
So glad to see another solid citizen carrying and able to "defend" themselves.

who should not be armed.

to inspect the damage HE CAUSED, with a firearm. That tells me everything I need to know.
