A Town of Lockport man told Niagara County Sheriff's deputies that someone tailgated, tried to cut him off, and tried to hit his vehicle with their truck Wednesday night.

The complainant said that as he was driving home from work around 7:30 p.m., he noticed a black pickup truck tailgating him as he was driving, driven by a man he knew to be Christopher Ventura. The black pickup truck cut him off and Ventura exited the vehicle, blocking the lane of traffic, the report said. The complainant said that he swerved around Ventura and continued to his destination. He told patrol that as he was pulling into his destination, the pickup truck crossed over the lane of traffic and attempted to strike his vehicle. Ventura then got out of his truck and began yelling at the complainant and stating that he was going to kill him.

Patrol was to obtain a warrant for the arrest of the Ventura on charges of third-degree menacing and second-degree harassment, according to the incident report.
