(West Monroe, NY – July 1, 2011) New York State Police in Hastings arrested two individuals after a road rage incident that occurred in the Town of West Monroe.

Darren C. Spalsbury, 19, of 2595 Route 37, Central Square was arrested and charged with first-degree Reckless Endangerment 1st degree (Class D Felony), second-degree Menacing (Class A Misdemeanor), Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor), and two counts of second-degree Harrasment (Violations).

Spalsbury confronted a motorist on County Route 37 in the Town of West Monroe whom he allegedly had an issue with regarding him following in his vehicle too closely to Spalsbury. Spalsbury stopped his vehicle abruptly in the middle of the northbound lane of County Route 37, got out of his car brandishing a knife, and threatened to stab the other motorist with it.

Another subject who was in the area attempted to diffuse the situation and convince Spalsbury to remain at the scene while awaiting police arrival.

Spalsbury got back in his car and drove his vehicle towards this subject, nearly striking him on three separate occasions. Spalsbury again exited his vehicle and began shoving other passing motorists that stopped to help.

Spalsbury was taken into custody upon arrival of Troopers with assistance from Oswego County Sheriff’s Deputies.

A female in Spalsbury’s vehicle, Christina M. Shelter, 19, attempted to prevent the arrest of Spalsbury and was charged with Obstructing Government Administration (Class A Misdemeanor).

Shelter was released with an appearance ticket.

Spalsbury was arraigned in the West Monroe Town Court and remanded to the Oswego County Jail on $6,000 cash bail/$12,000 bail bond.
