Placer County sheriff's officers said they arrested three people recently after a road rage incident got out of hand in Loomis.
Tempers flared at 3 p.m. Sunday between occupants of two cars, including a couple who had an 8-month-old daughter in the back seat of their vehicle, deputies wrote in their report of the incident.
Details from Art Campos:
The cause of the dispute wasn't listed. However, the report indicated that Jason Michael Johnson, 18, of Citrus Heights, shot at the couple's vehicle with an airsoft pistol.
The woman in the other vehicle, Jessica Sharon Koch, 20, of Citrus Heights, retaliated by spraying Johnson in the face with pepper spray, the report said.
Johnson then drove away but was followed by Koch's partner, John Francis Nagle, 23, of Stockton, the report said.
When Johnson halted at a stop sign at King Road and Webb Street, Nagle exited his vehicle, opened the trunk and grabbed a baseball bat, the report said.
Nagle ran over to Johnson's vehicle and shattered the driver's side window with the bat, the report said.
Officers arrived and took all three of the participants into custody, the report said. The baby was placed in the care of Placer County Child Protective Services, according to the report.
Booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, child endangerment and illegal possession of a weapon was Nagle.
Koch was booked on suspicion of illegally using a tear gas canister, and Johnson was held on suspicion of child endangerment and of displaying an imitation firearm, the report said.
