TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. — A truck driver was uninjured after shots were fired at their rig during a road rage episode, according to the Indiana State Police (ISP).
The incident happened just before 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 26, along Interstate 65 southbound near mile marker 180, an ISP report stated.
Dispatchers advised the victim to stop at a safe location, and a description of the suspect’s vehicle, a black Chevrolet Tahoe, was distributed throughout the ISP network.
While troopers were searching for the Tahoe, dispatchers received another 911 call about a separate road rage incident.
Dispatchers advised the driver, who was later identified to be Kevin Perfetti, 53, from Lowell, Indiana, to stop at a safe location. Troopers located Perfetti’s vehicle, which matched the description of the Chevrolet Tahoe from the original road rage incident report.
During the investigation, troopers discovered several firearms inside the Tahoe. Further investigation revealed that Perfetti was involved in the initial road rage incident with the semi-truck and fired at least one shot from the Tahoe.
Perfetti was safely taken into custody and transported to Tippecanoe County Jail.
He is being charged with criminal recklessness with a firearm, intimidation with a firearm and pointing a firearm.

Surprise surprise a Tahoe. Tahoe owners are some of the worst on the highways. Followed by Ram trucks.
“… shots were fired at their rig ..”? Their rig? Has The Trucker gone “woke?” The victim is named in the article. Why call him “their” rather than “he?”
Wow, you’re really triggered by this. Therapy maybe? Or is that too “woke” for you?
Firing squad only way to let these spoiled non working assholes learn we are not taking this shit anymore.
woke means being brain washed by Marxist democrats. we know the MAN is a HIM! use it!
so ignorance is preferred to being “Woke” =Having knowledge of self and the truth that surrounds one ? The truth is an offense but not a Sin.
as a semi(for all intents and purposes this pun IS IN FACT intended) lifelong citizen of THE MOST military historical counties of all in Indiana, we NEED to invest in SMART guns. The ones that can determine if the target is just a harmless civilian doing his or her job or if the intended target is a viable hostile in the correct parameters of the code of combatant ethics… that and the incarceration and hospitalization(the loony bins not the emergency room type hospitals here folks), for the insanely stupid members like these fellers and those peddling meth heroine cocaine crack or just plain fentanyl (reserve the HARSHEST penalty like death by firing squad for those in this latter category it’s the only way to get it to end) might just settle thing back down so that way we can raise our kids without having to be concerned or not about this kind of shit happening on the regular. My adopted dad Robert Smith is a trucker outta this exact county, and he can’t even do his job without taking his .45 fully loaded hollowpoint loaded smith and Wesson revolver to help him feel safe Incase idiots like this shoot at him, he drops his hideawindow and blast two rounds bask at whomever shoots at his ass. been this was since I was a teenager. I am now 31, something needs to be done…
woke means being brain washed by Marxist democrats. we know the MAN is a HIM! use it!
