Obscene Gesture Leads to Confrontation in Hamilton Mill

Woman said she gave man "the middle finger" after he reportedly almost caused an accident on Hamilton Mill Parkway.

An obscene gesture allegedly prompted a motorist to follow a Hamilton Mill woman to her home after a near accident on Hamilton Mill Parkway.

The woman said a man driving a gray Dodge truck almost crashed into her vehicle on the parkway. According to the woman, the man then pulled his vehicle alongside hers and began swearing at her. The woman said after she gave the man “the middle finger,” he followed her home.

The woman told Gwinnett County Police the man called her a “stupid idiot” and threatened to kill her. There were no witnesses, but the woman showed the investigating officer a photo of the man’s vehicle partially parked in her driveway and another photo of the man pointing his finger at the woman.
