She then approached his vehicle and told him she “wasn’t playing around,” threatened to slash his tires, and waved a knife toward him. She then opened her other hand to display several rounds of ammunition and told him she didn’t forget the bullets at home this time. He then backed into her car in an effort to escape the situation
