Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies have arrested a 30-year-old Centralia man for aggravated battery in connection with a road rage incident on December 17th.
Reports indicate Clint Taylor of South Walnut struck a 35-year-old Salem man in the back of the head with a tire iron after a confrontation took place on Myers Road east of Centralia. The alleged victim did not require hospital treatment.
Sheriff’s Deputies say the two men did not know each other. A witness was able to get a photo of the license plate of Taylor’s car which led to his arrest on Thursday. He had left the scene by the time deputies arrived on December 17th.
