A Columbia man who has been charged with multiple felonies after an alleged road rage incident on May 11 is due in court.

A Missouri State Highway Patrol report says a truck driver said the driver of another vehicle pointed a handgun at him while traveling on I-70 in Cooper County.

The truck driver described the handgun, which was located by the trooper and another law-enforcement officer during a search of the suspect’s vehicle. Authorities also say they located some methamphetamine.

The driver denied pointing the handgun at the trucker. But authorities say a passenger in the vehicle showed them how the pistol was pointed after the trucker sounded his horn. The trucker said he sounded his horn to get the attention of the driver of the vehicle, whom the trucker said was using his phone while driving.

Court documents say Jeremy Ray Kisch is charged with felonies for unlawful use of a weapon- exhibiting, possession of a controlled substance and three counts of unlawful use of a weapon- possession of a weapon and a controlled substance. He posted $25,000 surety bond on May 16.

Kisch is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 22, at Cooper County Circuit Court.
