Authorities in Anne Arundel County have one person in custody and a summons issued for another person after a roadway dispute turned ugly. Police say the parties were traveling on Ritchie Highway when the victim allegedly cut off the other driver. The victim apparently started recording the confrontation on her cell phone, when the occupants of the other vehicle, a man and a woman, shoved her, grabbed the phone and stomped on it. According to the victim, the couple initially followed her to a stop light, got out of their vehicle and started kicking and hitting her car. When she fled the scene, they followed her to her home, where the videotaped altercation occurred.
Even though the phone was smashed, the victim was able to retrieve the video and post it online. Police say that led to the man turning himself in. The woman was still being sought, but police had her identity.
