Man Charged with Road Rage Incident

(Bridgeport, CT – March 10, 2014) – A Fox Street man faces charges that he threatened a family with a shotgun during a road rage incident.

Officer Tom Kristy was dispatched to a threatening complaint Sunday afternoon and spoke with the victim, who stated that he was driving on Fairfield Avenue with his family when a black Ford Explorer backed onto Fairfield Avenue from a side street, forcing the victim to stop. The victim beeped his horn.

Two blocks up, both vehicles turned onto Fox Street. The Explorer stopped at the corner and the victim passed him and continued driving north on Fox. He turned around to return to Fairfield Avenue and, as he passed the vehicle, a man was standing behind it waving a shotgun. A short time later, the victim encountered the Explorer a second time on Wilson Street and the driver shouted at him as he passed.

Kristy conducted an investigation and, at 8 p.m., located the Explorer parked in front of 5 Fox St. He was able to identify the driver as Lenny Hainsworth, 36, of that address. He was charged with three counts each of reckless endangerment and threatening and one count of breach of peace. A shotgun and machete were located in the vehicle.
