Columbia woman accused of flashing gun during road-rage incident

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia woman was charged with a felony after she allegedly pointed a gun at two people during a Monday afternoon road-rage incident in Jefferson City.

Georgia Brown, 18, was charged in Cole County with unlawful use of a weapon. She is being held at the Cole County Jail without bond. A court date has not been set.

One of the victims called police at 4 p.m. Monday and claimed a female passenger in another vehicle pointed a gun at himself and another victim in the 2000 block of Missouri Boulevard, according to the probable cause statement. A witness gave police video footage that showed a man driving and a woman pointing a gun, the statement says.

The second victim allegedly told police that people in the other vehicle were honking at them, “which led to a verbal confrontation” as they drove along Missouri Boulevard, the statement says.

Police conducted a traffic stop on Brown’s vehicle at 5:39 p.m. and found a gun in her purse, the statement says.

Brown allegedly admitted to pointing the gun and claimed the victims were “yelling, cursing and directing racial slurs toward her,” court documents say.
