St. Cloud Man Charged After Wild Road Rage Confrontation

St. Cloud Police were dispatched to the intersection of 12th Street North and 36th Avenue North before 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 18th.

The victim said when they turned onto 12th Street, Duncan allegedly got in front of his car, brake checked him, and swerved back and forth and not allowing the man to pass.

Police arrived and spoke with Duncan, who officers say was angry during the conversation. Duncan allegedly denied having an axe but said he had an object used to dispatch deer and other road kill so they don't suffer.

Duncan is charged with 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and felony threats of violence. He's due in court on November 20th.
