A recent study revealed just how common weapons are during road rage incidents. One in five drivers knows someone who’s been threatened with one on the road. The study didn’t mention chainsaws specifically. But it looks like they do things a bit differently in southwest Michigan.

A woman pulled out of her driveway in Paw Paw, Michigan (yes, that’s actually the town’s name), in front of a pickup towing a trailer. The truck’s driver, 68-year-old Leonard Yonkman (yup, that’s actually his name too), didn’t take too kindly to being cut off. He allegedly passed the woman, cut her off, and ran her off the road.

During the ensuing argument, he reached for a chainsaw in the back of his truck. He didn’t just wave it around—he tried to start it. But he wasn’t able to get the saw running.

He’s also accused of stomping on the woman’s cellphone, punching her in the stomach, and grabbing her throat. A witness reported watching the altercation from a nearby gas station and jotting down Yonkman’s license plate number for the police.

Yonkman was arrested five days later. He’s been charged with felony assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon. I’d argue that once you’re attempting to start your chainsaw, your intent has escalated to murder—whether it actually fires up or not. He’s also facing misdemeanor malicious destruction of personal property.
