A North Platte man is facing felony charges following an alleged road rage incident on Tuesday afternoon.
At around 1:30 p.m., officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a disturbance in a parking lot in the 1800 block of East 4th Street.
Officers met with a 19-year-old male and several witnesses who alleged that the male pulled onto East 4th Street in his vehicle, in front of a vehicle driven by Brian Johnson.
It was reported that Johnson began tailgating the victim, and both vehicles eventually pulled into the parking lot.
According to Investigator John Deal, Johnson approached the driver of the other vehicle and produced a knife and began making threats.
After a short time, Deal says witnesses reported that Johnson left the scene and went to a nearby parking lot, where they observed him place the knife under his vehicle.
As the officers were talking to the victim and witnesses, Johnson drove by the scene and was stopped by an officer.
The knife was located in plain view inside the vehicle, and Deal said it matched the description given by the victim and witnesses.
Johnson was placed under arrest and charged with felony terroristic threats and use of a weapon to commit a felony. He was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
