WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah — A man was booked into the Washington County Jail following a road rage incident Saturday when he fired a weapon on the ground toward a group of juveniles.

Alan Culver-Ashby, 74, was booked on six counts of aggravated assault and one count of felony discharge of a firearm.

According to the probable cause statement, Culver-Ashby confronted the group after becoming angry with the teens who were driving and kicking up dirt rocks toward him. Culver-Ashby allegedly fired a gun while ordering the juveniles to the ground.

The juveniles were able to get to a home as Culver-Ashby tried to get inside, but he was unsuccessful. Police located and detained him after he had left the scene.

Culver-Ashby admitted his role in the incident and was taken into custody. A search of his vehicle found two firearms, including the one used in the incident.

He is being held without bail.
