A Maricopa teen was arrested on multiple charges Jan. 24 after allegedly brandishing a gun during a confrontation with another driver on Farrell Road.
Joshua Husick, 18, was arrested around 3:30 p.m. near Porter and Farrell roads, according to a report from the Maricopa Police Department.
Husick, originally detained by Ak-Chin Police, allegedly admitted, “I’m not gonna [sic] lie, I did pull my gun out,” the report says, though he did not “pull it out on [the driver].”
Husick’s said, according to the MPD report, he was driving westbound on Farrell when the other driver “stopped really hard” and threw a cup at Husick’s car, a red Jaguar.
At that point, Husick admitted, he pulled out “his piece” but did not point it at the other driver. Instead, he said he held the barrel of the pistol and put the handle outside of the window with the barrel pointing back at himself.
Additionally, the report says, Husick stated he did not fear for his life during the incident.
The other driver allegedly told Ak-Chin PD Husick was driving in front of them when the incident took place, and that the confrontation with the gun was the culmination of an initial “road rage incident,” which was not described in the MPD report.
Husick was booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center and formally charged with misconduct involving weapons for being a minor in possession of a handgun, disorderly conduct, and threatening and intimidating.
If convicted, he could face as many as three years in prison.
