Dutchess man pleads guilty to road rage shooting on Interstate 84
A Wappingers Falls man faces three years in prison following a road rage incident.
SOUTHEAST, N.Y. — Prosecutors say a Wappingers Falls man faces three years in prison for shooting another driver's car during a road-rage incident on Interstate 84 last summer.
The Putnam County District Attorney's Office says a motorist called state police July 30 to report that a man had been driving aggressively on I-84 in the town of Southeast and brandished a handgun before shooting at the victim's car and hitting a wheel rim.
No one was injured.
Troopers later stopped a car driven by 27-year-old Masey Moshref of Wappingers Falls. Police say they found a Glock 9mm semi-automatic handgun hidden in a secret compartment under his car's dashboard. The victim said Moshref had cut him off and became enraged when he blew his horn at Moshref. Moshref pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.
