Tonight, three cop cars arrived at Point Loma Nazarene University, temporarily blocking the exit of campus and causing a traffic backup. Jeffrey Houchins, a sergeant with the San Diego Police Department (SDPD), said a call was received at their dispatch center reporting “some sort of road rage incident” between someone he “believes” is a PLNU student and another driver.
“The student drove here where she knew she would encounter the gate guards and other people, so she felt like this would be a safe place to come,” Houchins said. “The other driver followed, and … I don’t know if there was a right-of-way violation, but one person gave the other person a hand gesture, and the other driver got upset and started following.”
Houchins continued, saying that there were “some words exchanged.” SDPD then detained the driver, “who was following really closely, scaring the other driver.”
“We released all parties,” Houchins said. “No crime occurred; we’re just going to be writing a detention report.”
This is a developing story. No other information is known at this time.
