Man accused of pointing gun at other motorist, victim in Conway

CONWAY, SC (WMBF) – A man found himself behind bars after he allegedly pointed a gun at another driver in Conway.

Records show 48-year-old Rodney Miles was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Wednesday. He was later released on $15,000 bail.

According to a police report and arrest warrants obtained by WMBF News, the charges against Miles stem from an incident on Oct. 26.

Conway Police officers learned from a person listed in the complaint that the victim was driving a vehicle with a trailer and there were two other people inside. The victim was trying to avoid an accident on Highway 501 when it moved into another lane after they thought Miles had let them pass.

However, police were told that Miles allegedly followed the other driver to a nearby restaurant. Miles then allegedly began yelling at the victims, saying they almost hit him before pulling out a gun.

The police report described the firearm as “a medium-sized weapon” with a “large capacity magazine.” Miles is accused of aggressively pointing the gun at the victims. The victims also feared for their safety and thought Miles would shoot them because of his behavior, the report said.
