A Saint Paul man is charged after authorities say he pointed a handgun at a semi driver during a road rage incident on Interstate 35E last week.

Jordan Alexander Cate, 39, faces felony charges including threats of violence and two counts of illegal possession of a firearm or ammunition stemming from the incident on Jan. 28.

According to the criminal complaint, a Minnesota state trooper was dispatched around 11:55 a.m. to investigate a gun-pointing report on southbound Interstate 35E near the Highway 52 exit.

A semi driver told the trooper he was nearly struck by the driver of a white SUV who changed lanes near Maryland Avenue. He said he honked to alert the driver, then watched the SUV swerve away, slow down and get behind his truck. When the semi changed lanes, the SUV driver pulled alongside him, the complaint says.
