Police: Round Lake Park man faces charges for brandishing gun

A 22-year-old Round Lake Park man faces charges for threatening another man with a gun following an earlier road rage incident, police said

Gomez Misael, of the 100 block of Dartmoor Drive, was driving near his home around 5 p.m. Friday when a man followed and confronted him about an earlier road rage incident involving the two several weeks before. Misael brandished a gun at the other man who then fled in his car, police said.
