MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man was taken into custody Thursday for allegedly sideswiping a woman’s car, following her home and threatening her and her son.

On July 31, Memphis Police responded to a disturbance at 584 South Greer Street around 3 p.m.

According to reports, the victim and her son were driving down Greer Street when a white 2015 Volkswagen Jetta improperly sped passed them on the left into oncoming traffic and sideswiped their truck.

The female victim stated that when she pulled into the driveway of her East Buntyn home, she noticed that the Volkswagen Jetta had followed her.

Reports say that she remained in her truck while her son got out to take pictures of the suspect and his car tags.

While the suspect was still in his car, he did a figure-eight in the middle of the street, drove past the victim, and slapped him in his face.

Officers say that the suspect did another figure-eight, pointing a gun at him and saying, “I’ll aerate you.”
