VISTA — A 36-year-old man suspected of firing a less-lethal rubber bullet gun at a vehicle in Vista during a road rage dispute was taken into custody Thursday.
Deputies responded to the 600 block of Ascot Drive, near Melrose Drive, around 6 a.m. on Jan. 9 to execute a search warrant and enforce a gun violence restraining order for Kyle Macpherson in connection with a road rage altercation near the intersection of Melrose and Bobier drives on Dec. 28, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s officials said no injuries were reported and that the vehicle struck during the road rage sustained more than $1,400 in damage.
Investigators found two less-lethal handguns, a billy club, and ammunition in Macpherson’s vehicle. An additional 13 firearms and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition were discovered at Macpherson’s residence.
Macpherson was arrested and booked into the Vista Detention Facility for multiple offenses, including assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a billy club and felony vandalism.
