LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A man was caught Tuesday after he threatened another driver with a gun in Omaha, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says.

Around 3:30 p.m. Monday, deputies responded to a report of a road rage incident near 204th and F streets.

The victim told deputies that a man pulled up next to his vehicle and started yelling threats while showing a gun, the sheriff’s office said.

The man – later identified as 40-year-old Shane Dempsey – followed the victim for several miles before leaving the area.

On Tuesday, authorities served a search warrant at Dempsey’s home in La Vista.

He was arrested on suspicion of terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
