Guy waving gun and pounding dash driving westbound on Route 33

By Billie Owens

A highly agitated man, pounding the dashboard and waving a gun, is reportedly driving westbound on Route 33 from Route 19. He's behind a white school-bus-like van. Sheriff's deputies are responding.

UPDATE 6:31 p.m.: He was originally spotted on Route 490 coming out of Churchville. He is reportedly driving a black Jeep and is now being stopped by an officer. The Jeep was stopped on Route 33 near Old State.

UPDATE 6:33 p.m. (by Howard): The deputy who stopped the Jeep doesn't believe it's the involved vehicle and is clear of the stop. There is no license plate, or partial plate available on the vehicle. Additionally, and unrelated, another caller reports a group of motorcycles coming from the 490 onto Route 33, and that while on the 490, some had been doing "wheelies and other stunts."

UPDATE 6:37 p.m. (by Howard): A deputy is also on the look out for a white school-bus-like minivan that was reportedly behind the black Jeep at one time to see if the driver has any information. The original caller is no longer following the Jeep.

UPDATE 6:39 p.m.: The Jeep is described as black with a gray two-tone on the bottom.

It was the owner of the chair Clint Eastwood used as a GOP convention prop. He was just advised that Clint left it in Tampa. He'd already listed it on EBay.
