GOP Lawmaker Says Man Yelled Death Threats, Antisemitic Slur In Road Rage Incident
HuffPost
A 36-year-old man turned himself in to police after an encounter that Ohio Rep. Max Miller said left him "shaken."
Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) called 911 Thursday morning to report that a man had flashed a Palestinian flag while allegedly trying to run him off the road, screaming death threats and an antisemitic slur in what appears to be the latest example of rising political tensions.
Local police said Friday that an Ohio man, 36-year-old Feras S. Hamdan, voluntarily turned himself in, accompanied by a lawyer, on the evening of the reported incident.
“The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control,” Miller wrote in an X post Thursday.
Police in Rocky River, Ohio, a small city west of Cleveland, said that Hamdan is awaiting a court appearance. Miller has signed a motion for a criminal protection order against Hamdan.
The lawmaker, a Jewish conservative, told police that the man called him a “dirty Jew” and may have thrown a Palestinian flag out of his black Tesla during the incident, although a police report notes that no flag was found in the area.
