CLERMONT – A 30-year-old man was charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly pulled a pair of nunchuks on a motorist during a road-rage incident.
Hector R. Claudio was released from the Lake County jail after posting a $2,000 bail.
According to an arrest affidavit, Clermont police responded to Walmart on Saturday after a man said his family was traveling in a car on U.S. Highway 27 when a motorist driving in an “erratic manner” wouldn’t allow their vehicle into the left-turn lane.
The two vehicles stopped at the store and the motorist – later identified as Claudio – got out of his vehicle with a set of nunchuks, a martial arts weapon with two sticks connected by a chain. The husband said Claudio started swinging the nunchuks around and telling him to get back in the car or he would hit him with it.
The husband got back into his car and Claudio went inside the store. Police waited for Claudio to come out of the store and he was arrested after admitting having nunchuks in his vehicle, the affidavit states.
