Montana men arrested after road rage incident

Two Montana men were arrested early Thursday morning after an alleged road rage incident in Coeur d’Alene.

Coeur d’Alene Police responded to a report of gunfire involving two vehicles in the area of Northwest Boulevard and Lakewood Drive. The alleged victim was unhurt; however, evidence on the victim’s vehicle indicated it may have been struck by gunfire.

When the suspect vehicle was located, officers detained three men who were in the vehicle. Two men were arrested: 20-year-old Kenneth C. Gieber of Polson, Montana and 25-year-old Shawn K. Tate of Missoula. Both were booked into jail on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and discharging a weapon.

The third man, whose identity was not released by police, was interviewed and released.

A handgun and some coins found inside the vehicle were later connected a stolen property case in Montana. The coins have a reported value of approximately $25,000.

The Coeur d’Alene Police Department is working with the Polson Montana Police Department on this ongoing investigation.
