A Slatington man has been cited for disorderly conduct and criminal mischief for a road-rage incident on Tuesday.

Lehigh Township Police said Shawn Rice, 25, was operating a dark-colored Ford pickup truck at 8:45 p.m. when he stopped his vehicle on Route 248 at the intersection of Mountain View Drive.

At that time, police said Rice got out of his truck and began yelling at the vehicle behind him for tailgating.

Police said Rice then punched the side view mirror of the vehicle, causing damage.

He then got back into his vehicle and left the area, police said.
