A Shelby County man has been terminated from his job and charged in Rush County following what’s been described as a road rage incident.

The Rush County Sheriff’s Department says Gary Bow, of Shelbyville, turned himself in to the Rush Couunty Jail on Tuesday.  A warrant had been issued for Bow for criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, impersonating a public servant law enforcement officer and reckless driving.  The first two charges are Level 6 felonies.

On Saturday, April 16, the Rush County Sheriff’s Department says that Bow and a Rush County citizen were in the area of State Road 3 and 900 North when Bow passed a semi-tractor and then began brake checking him.  The two drivers stopped and had an exchange of words.  The Rush County Sheriff’s Department says the semi-tractor driver claimed Bow brandished a firearm at him and that Bow then yelled that he should arrest the semi driver.  Bow then drove away.

Bow was employed with the Decatur County Sheriff’s Department Jail Division as a detention deputy.  He was off-duty at the time of the incident.  He has since been terminated from that position.
