Road rage incident results in arrest

By Amie Cato-Remer Editor 

An Arkansas man is facing felony counts of possession of firearm after former felony conviction and feloniously pointing firearm following a reported road rage incident near Vian.

An Arkansas man is facing felony counts of possession of firearm after former felony conviction and feloniously pointing firearm following a reported road rage incident near Vian.

James F. Jordan Jr., 33, of Malvern was charged Jan. 5 and received a $15,000 bond. He is now set for a 9 a.m. March 1 felony disposition docket before Associate District Judge Kyle Waters.

Sequoyah County Sheriff’s deputy Jeremy Day reported on Dec. 19, 2022, he was advised of a road rage incident on Interstate-40 near the 297 mile marker (Vian exit) where a firearm had allegedly been pointed at a man and his wife. The reporting party told police the vehicle had taken the Vian exit and went southbound on Highway 82, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Day found the vehicle traveling northbound on Hwy. 82 under I-40. The driver turned into Love’s car stop and Day made contact with the individuals who were now outside the vehicle. Jordan reportedly told Day they had been involved in a road rage incident and he’d pointed a flashlight at the other vehicle. The deputy told Jordan the reporting party said it was a small black handgun but Jordan denied any gun was ever pointed.

Day reported the odor of marijuana was omitting from the vehicle and asked if any of the occupants possessed a medical marijuana card. Jordan told him he was a Cherokee Nation tribal member and did not need a card but the deputy told him regardless of tribal affiliation, he still needed a medical marijuana card.

Day also reported finding a Taurus 9mm and loaded magazine under the driver’s seat where Jordan was reportedly sitting.

After running a check on the gun and a criminal history on Jordan, the gun was found to be not entered as stolen. However, Jordan’s criminal history reportedly showed both a felony conviction for first degree battery and another for possession of controlled substance in Arkansas. His last felony conviction was from Tulsa for shooting with intent to kill, according to the affidavit.

Jordan was arrested on his charges and transported to jail. Cherokee Nation reportedly could not reportedly confirm if he was a tribal member, according to the affidavit.
