Man threatened driver with knife during winter storm in Nebraska, the patrol says

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A semi-driver threatened another motorist with a knife during a winter storm in western Nebraska on Saturday, the patrol says.

Around 5 p.m., a driver pulled up next to a trooper, who was performing traffic control at the Interstate 80 interchange at Ogallala.

The victim told the trooper that a semi-driver had gotten out of his truck, walked up to their car and threatened them with a knife while traffic was slowly exiting I-80 due to the storm.

After an investigation, troopers found the semi-driver, 67-year-old Barry Bynum of Missouri, and took him into custody.

He was arrested on suspicion of terroristic threats, third-degree assault and possession of a deadly weapon while committing a felony.

Bynum was lodged in the Keith County Jail, the patrol says.
