Scott, 23, told deputies she and Ables had been cutting each other off.
all she had to do was let him go but she chose to fight because SHE HAD A GUN AND NO ONE WAS GOING TO PUSH HER AROUND
with some of this.She did not deescalate, she escalated the encounter, bBy her own admittance. If she did actively participate in aggressive driving, as her statement says, she escalated what very well could have been a nonevent and certainly a nonviolent event. If he was instigating with wreak less driving, she could have been on the phone with 911 prior to the accident and kept on driving away from him while giving information to 911.
I don’t have all the facts so I’m on the fence but, if she was actively participating in aggressive behavior by cutting him off, she was as much an aggressor and he was and probably looking for a fight. I will stop short of saying her CHL gave her the confidence to engage in such behavior but I would be very interested in knowing a few more facts. One being, how long she has had her CHL? Not to mention the 911 tapes and surveillance video from the gas station.
Edited to fix my poor grammar.
