We now know the identity of the person who brutally assaulted a 61-year-old woman while she was in her Tesla.
As FOX 10 Phoenix reported, police in Flagstaff, Arizona announced late Sunday evening revealed that 33-year-old Robert Artherton as the individual responsible. He was driving a Chevrolet Cavalier at the time of the incident.
“The driver of the Cavalier, later identified as Robert Artherton, 33, of Flagstaff, drove in front of the Tesla, causing both vehicles to stop in the roadway,” read a portion of the statement released by police. “Mr. Artherton exited his vehicle and approached the driver’s side of the Tesla. A confrontation ensued, with conflicting accounts from those involved regarding what transpired.”
Police added that the incident was fueled by “driving behavior, honking, and disorderly hand gestures.” Witnesses also stated to police that both vehicles were driving erratically.
The incident began near Butler Avenue and Milton Road and continued east along Route 66. Police did not describe the exact Tesla model involved.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that on March 19, a woman driving a Tesla was boxed in by a male driver and savagely beaten by him through an open car window while she was sitting in her vehicle. The lowlife repeatedly punched her with a closed fist.
The woman, who identified herself only as “Susan” to protect her identity, spoke out regarding this harrowing experience in an interview with AZ Family on Friday.
“I started to say, ‘You cut me off, what’s your problem?’ but I didn’t know how much he heard me,” the woman said. “He got out and started to punch me with a closed fist.”
She also explained to AZ Family that she was “appalled” when the scumbag assaulted her.
“I’m just appalled,” Susan stated. “I didn’t buy my car for a political statement. I bought my car because it’s really fun to drive.
“My politics have nothing to do with that,” she added. “I’m ashamed of our society and what they are doing.”
Artherton has been charged with disorderly conduct, assault, and aggressive driving “in lieu of detention.”
He reportedly faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
