Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) –A local road rage incident that has gone viral has resulted in an arrest. Today APD officers arrested Jenipher Lewis for an incident, which was caught on video and posted to social media on Tuesday. That incident occurred Monday around 8:45 a.m. near the intersection of Constitution Ave. and Wyoming Blvd., N.E. The cell phone video showed Lewis return to her red Nissan after she smashed the back window of a white pickup truck. Shortly after she drove away, the driver of the pickup switched lanes, accelerated into the intersection and crashed into the red Nissan from behind. The white truck pushed the Nissan into northbound lanes of Wyoming. Both vehicles fled the scene after the crash. Officers contacted Lewis, who said she was on her way to take her children to school on Monday when the white pickup pulled out of a parking lot in front of her. She said she pulled up along side the pickup and yelled at the male driver of the pickup, alleging he almost killed her and her children. She said the man started laughing and she grabbed a baseball bat from the car and approached the truck, claiming she was going to protect herself and her children. Lewis admitted to smashing the truck window with the bat. She’s been charged with abuse/endanger of a child’s life/health, driving with a suspended/revoked license and reckless driving.
