A road rage incident on State Road 85 yesterday evening (March 2nd) had an unexpected and potentially dangerous impact on a motorcyclist heading north around 5 p.m. Deputies say it involved the vehicle of 29-year old Thomas Biddle, (being driven by his wife), a black sedan, and three motorcycles.
Biddle’s car was passing the sedan at a high rate of speed and had pulled alongside it when Biddle began to yell at the driver. Biddle then threw a water bottle at the car from the passenger side window. The bottle missed the car but hit a motorcyclist in the chest traveling approximately seventy miles an hour behind Biddle’s vehicle.
Deputies say the Crestview resident’s actions created a hazard that had the potential to cause great bodily harm or even death to the motorcyclist.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has charged Biddle with throwing a missile into a dwelling, vehicle, or aircraft.
