MOSSY HEAD, Fla. — A Mossy Head man has been arrested following a road rage incident that led to shots fired on Sunday, February 13.

After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the shooter, Taylor Banjo Bradford, 24, of Mossy Head, knowingly used a firearm during a road rage incident then pursued the victim’s vehicle at a high rate of speed for several minutes, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office.

His actions unjustifiably threatened the lives of not only the victim, but others traveling in the area, the WCSO said in a press release.

Bradford was arrested Tuesday, February 15, and charged with firing a weapon from a vehicle, discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

According to a report by the WCSO, at 5:35 p.m., the agency responded to the intersection of US Highway 90 and Shoemaker Drive following a 911 call regarding a shooting.

Upon arriving on the scene, deputies found three bullet holes in the victim’s truck, two in the rear passenger door and a third that entered the back glass on the passenger side of the vehicle before exiting through the windshield near the rear-view mirror.

The victim stated he was traveling west on US Highway 90 near the intersection of US Highway 331 N when a dark-colored sedan collided with his vehicle.
