On Jan. 21, a woman and her boyfriend were driving on Woodley Road in Dayton when they reportedly got into a road rage situation with a driver in a white car.
“The driver of the white sedan ultimately fired rounds at (the woman and man), striking (the woman) in the head,” a Dayton Municipal Court affidavit read.
The next day police stopped Matthews while he was driving a white Ford Fusion at the intersection of Woodley Road and Springfield Street.
Matthews had a PSA Dagger 9mm, which matched the weaponed used in the shooting, according to court records.
The woman also had video that reportedly showed a white Ford Fusion with rear-end damage following her.
A detective called Matthews to the safety building for paperwork, and he arrived in a white Ford Fusion that matched the one in the road rage incident, according to court documents.
