A Denver man is currently fighting to stay out of jail after supposedly being falsely accused of road rage.
The man has been charged with hitting another driver during a road rage incident that took place in Colorado.
Eddie Calhoun, 44, is an employee for the city of Denver and says he was plowing the streets last January when the incident happened.
He claims that the only connection he has to the accident is that the abandoned truck being driven by the suspect was left behind his mother’s house.
When his nephew told Calhoun that officers were looking for him, he willingly went to City Hall, where he was arrested.
Calhoun was arrested for assault and reckless endangerment and he was reportedly forced to post $25,000 bail.
“I have been falsely arrested and wrongly accused,” says Calhoun.
The woman in the victim’s car has even reported to police that Calhoun is not the man who launched the attack.
“It is a case of false arrest and sloppy police work,” says Calhoun’s attorney, Alvertis Simmons.
