LAKE STATION, Ind. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A Gary man was arrested Thursday night after he was involved in a road rage incident that started in Lake Station and resulted with him shooting at a car that had a 2-year-old child inside.
At 3:23 p.m., an Indiana State Police dispatch center received a call of a possible road rage incident involving possible gunfire. A 24-year-old Lake Station woman said she was following the suspect as he drove a Dodge Charger west on Interstate 80/94 from Ripley Road near Lake Station, state police said.
As she approached Interstate 65, the woman pulled her Toyota Yaris over near Grant Street after realizing one of the tires was going flat, state police said. The charger’s driver sped off, but she was able to catch the license plate number and offer a description of the driver — a black male with a silver grill over his teeth.
Further investigation revealed the road rage started in a trailer park in Lake Station and resulted in both parties continuing the road rage in Lake Station when the Charger pulled alongside the Toyota on Ripley Street, smiled at the victim, and then shot at the Toyota several times. They continued their rage when they entered west bound I-80/94.
While Biddings was in custody at the Lowell state police station, surveillance cameras caught him attempting to hide marijuana in his underwear, state police said.
Biddings, of Gary, was then transferred to the Lake County jail in Crown Point, where he is being held on preliminary charges of criminal recklessness and cannabis possession, state police said. Further charges may be pending.
