A road rage incident last Friday led to a police investigation and the arrest of three Hays suspects on drug and firearm charges.
Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler said the alleged road rage incident took place at 12:13 p.m. on Feb. 28 at the intersection of 13th and Fort St. after two vehicles nearly collided.
A handgun was allegedly brandished during the incident, Scheibler said.
That same day, police officers located a vehicle linked to the incident, which led them to the residence of two identified suspects.
Scheibler said a search warrant was executed once officers became aware of potential drug activity. Officers allegedly discovered a large quantity of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, the handgun involved in the road rage incident and a rifle.
Devon Reed, 27, was arrested at the residence and charged with possession of marijuana, intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to have a drug tax stamp, aggravated assault and criminal possession of a firearm.
He was arrested alongside Michayla Miller, 27, who faced charges of possession of marijuana, distribution of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to have a drug tax stamp, and aggravated assault.
Additionally, Legend Robertson, 18, who also resided at the home, turned himself in to the police, according to Scheibler. He was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, and intent to distribute marijuana.
Scheibler said he appreciates the outstanding work of patrol officers and the investigation division.
"We were able to arrest people we believe to be involved in dealing with drugs in our community," Scheibler said. "Good job on their part in making the community safer. I appreciate their hard work."
