When officers arrived at the area of Hefner and Rockwell Avenue, they learned, from a witness, one of the cars was allegedly driving recklessly. That is when the second car got involved. The witness told officers that the two drivers started yelling at each other.

The witness then followed the suspect’s car and stayed on the phone with dispatch until police arrived.
