Nanninga told police he was driving west on NW Circle Boulevard Monday afternoon, when a car drove up behind him. He said he felt it was following too closely, so he hit his brakes to aggressively warn the driver.

Both cars stopped for a red light, and that’s when Nanninga said a passenger in the other car gestured at him. Nanninga responded by following the vehicle after it turned onto NW Witham Hill Drive.
