Arrest made after 33-year-old pulls out gun during road rage incident

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (WFSB) – A 33-year-old man has been arrested after pulling out a gun during a road rage incident in West Hartford.

The incident occurred yesterday at 7:22 a.m. on I-84 Westbound in the area of exit 43.

State police say the victim reported driving in the left lane of three on I-84 when another driver in a Nissan Altima started weaving in and out of the travel lanes, eventually merging in front of them.

The victim honked their horn and the Nissan slammed on their brakes in response, according to police.

The victim then made a “hand gesture” towards the driver in the Nissan Altima, which is when the driver pointed a gun towards them through the driver’s side window.

The victim told police that they slowed down to avoid escalation, but the driver motioned with his hand to suggest that they position their vehicle alongside his.

The victim slowed down more and called 911.

When meeting with the police, the victim gave them the suspect vehicle description, license plate, and a description of the driver.

With this information, the suspect was identified as 33-year-old Kewon Rondell Bank of Manchester.

Police contacted Banks who agreed to meet with troopers.

Troopers say Banks admitted to pulling out a gun during the incident but said he only did so because he thought the victim was reaching for something.

Banks was arrested and charged with threatening and breach of peace.

He was released on a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
