A Vermont man is facing charges after he threatened a family with a gun during a road rage incident on Cape Cod Tuesday afternoon, according to police.

St. Johnsbury resident Tracy Douse, 42, has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct and three firearms charges in connection with the incident, Chatham police said in a press release.

Around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Chatham police received a call from a driver who reported that he and his family had been involved in a road rage incident, police said. He told police that, while traveling on Route 28, he and his family were threatened by another driver who was armed with a gun.

The caller gave police a description of the driver and his vehicle, and officers soon located the driver, police said. They pulled the vehicle over and arrested the driver — who was later identified as Douse — and found a loaded handgun inside his vehicle.

Douse was arraigned in Orleans District Court on Wednesday and held on $50,000 bail, according to court records. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
