BOSTON -- A Sandwich, Mass., woman faced charges in a courtroom Monday stemming from an alleged case of road rage.
NewsCenter 5's Jorge Quiroga reported that police say Jennifer Wright, a 28-year-old University of Massachusetts at Boston art student, slammed her red station wagon into a sport utility vehicle 12 times on Interstate 93 north in Milton Friday.
"There was an off-duty Brockton police officer who witnessed the other operator cut her off and then apparently the incident revolved around that," said defense attorney Robert Brown.
Witnesses claimed Wright chased the SUV, screamed and waved her arms at the driver and hit the vehicle 12 times.
Wright plead not guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, malicious destruction and driving to endanger.
While the court did not place any restrictions on her driving, she was ordered to see a court psychologist.
"(The psychologist will) assess whether or not there are any psychiatric issues, anger management issues and if there are then the court clinical psychologist will then make recommendations," said Brown.
Wright was released on pre-trail probation and must submit to an anger management evaluation before returning to court on June 9.
The very soul of reasonableness and stability.
