September, 2009 Crime: Road Rage
Maumelle, Arkansas - Family Festival promoter and concealed carry permit holder, Norman Millard "Butch" Stone Jr. was driving slowly in the outside lane. This annoyed Kenton Byrd who acted incorrectly by tailgating Butch in an effort to get him to move into the slow lane. Butch waved the other driver around but then, as they did attempt to pass him, he pulled his gun and aimed at them. They quickly pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot to get away from the situation but was followed by Butch. Butch and both of the passengers in his car got out of their vehicle and moved to Kenton's vehicle, where again Butch pulled his weapon out and pointed it at Kenton. Butch then pushed Kenton into his car and left the scene. When police caught up with Butch he attempted to claim that he pointed his gun at a moving vehicle, followed it into a parking lot and then pulled a gun on them again because he thought his life was in danger because he thought maybe the other guy had a gun. (Ed. note - If you thought your life was in danger, wouldn't you move away from someone, not follow them?)
