Two suspects are facing battery charges after a road rage incident in which they stopped a vehicle in the middle of the roadway and assaulted the victims.

William Overton, 27, was arrested for battery, brandishing a weapon, and making criminal threats. Timothy Creedon, 34, was arrested for battery and several misdemeanor warrants out of Merced County.

According to Turlock police spokesperson Sgt. Stephen Webb, Overton was traveling on Countryside Drive when he was cut off.

Overton followed the vehicle, got in front of them, and then stopped in the middle of the roadway, said Webb. The vehicle was forced to stop behind Overton.

Overton began pulling on the victim’s door and then hitting the male victim once he got out to defend himself, said Webb.

Creedon joined in and began assaulting the first victim while Overton began assaulting the other victim.

During the assault Overton brandished a knife, said Webb.

Once Overton and Creedon heard sirens, they fled the scene. However, officers were ultimately able to located the suspects in the Home Depot parking lot. Both suspects were arrested.

One of the victims suffered a laceration to his lip during the assault.

    There is no excuse for actions like this, but if the victim was a more polite driver this incident would never have happened. I not blaming the victim, these two were loose cannons waiting to go off, but by exercising restraint and more common curtesy we all can avoid being in the line of fire of people that need to be in a physiatric ward not loose on the streets.

Real estate agency involves dealing with properties either for selling or purchasing. When a client comes to a real estate agency to sell a property, it is the estate agent's job to find a buyer. If the agent finds a buyer and closes the deal at a good price for both parties, the estate agent gets a 1% commission from both buyer and seller. This is how real estate agencies work, and estate agents earn."

  • dans on How to choose the right weight loss clinic? "A reputable weight loss clinic should preferably include counseling while being overseen by a doctor or other qualified medical expert. However, some weight-loss facilities allow clients to quickly obtain weight-loss medications and leave without providing a thorough medical history or seeking a physician's opinion. You should stay away from these types of locations because they're dangerous and probably won't result in long-term weight loss. Find a facility that focuses on the behavioral treatment or lifestyle counseling instead. They can provide you with the tools you need to make healthy decisions and advice on how to fit exercise into your daily schedule. Some of these tactics include keeping track of your meals and keeping a weekly workout log."
