Little Rock (AP) - A Little Rock man was arrested after he allegedly shot at a motorist with a crossbow after police say the motorist made an obscene gesture at the man.

Twenty-six-year-old Wayne Allen Dierks Junior is to be arraigned October 25th in Little Rock District Court. He was arrested Sunday on numerous charges.

Steve Gilgenbach, a baseball pitcher for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, said he cut in front of Dierks while trying to get onto Interstate 630. Police say Gilgenbach made an obscene gesture but Gilgenbach says he doesn't remember doing that. Gilgenback says Dierks fired the crossbow at him and broke his car window.

Gilgenback called police and Dierks was arrested. Police say they found a crossbow with a scope in his vehicle, four crossbow bolts, a cooler containing unopened beers and one opened can. Dierks registered .12 on a blood-alcohol test. The legal threshold is .08.
