The suspect passed the victim’s car and slammed on the brakes before “blinding” her eyes
Last week, a man allegedly triggered an incident in a somewhat peculiar manner in San Bernandino County. Scott Socea, the 46-year-old suspect, was given a ticket for wielding a weapon. According to official sources, Socea caused an accident with a laser pointer.
The accident occurred near Highway 138 in Phelan as stated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. The victim told the officers that Socea felt like she was driving too slow when he was behind her.
The officers say that Socea merged back in front of her after passing her car and then stepped on his brakes. Authorities also say that Socea shined a green laser into her eyes after she flashed his headlights at him. Obstructed by the laser, the woman rear-ended the suspect’s car.
The laser was taken and recorded as evidence, and thankfully no injuries were reported. Socea has a future date scheduled at the San Bernardino County Superior Court.
