Two Men Arrested for Road Rage Incident Involving Firearm Chase

Two men were taken into custody after allegedly chasing multiple victims during a road rage incident, with one suspect reportedly brandishing a firearm.

Jeffrey Alan Evans, 37, and Allen Logan Hileman, 29, were arrested in connection to the confrontation, which unfolded near an apartment complex.

Incident Details

According to police reports, the victims called authorities after they were pursued by a man armed with a handgun—later identified as Evans. It remains unclear what initially sparked the altercation.

The victims stated they were in a parking lot when Evans exited a vehicle and began shouting at them. Moments later, he retrieved a black handgun and pointed it in their direction, prompting them to flee in their vehicle.

As they sped away, Evans reportedly ran after them on foot, gun in hand, before getting into a car driven by Hileman to continue the pursuit. The victims attempted to escape by running a red light, but the suspects followed suit before eventually breaking off the chase.

Investigation and Arrests

Authorities later located the suspects’ vehicle in the same parking lot where the initial confrontation occurred. When questioned, both allegedly denied involvement and initially claimed no firearm was used. However, officers discovered that Evans had been living in a van nearby, where a stolen handgun was later recovered.

Further investigation revealed that Evans had prior felony convictions preventing him from legally possessing a firearm, along with a documented history of attempting to evade arrest.

Charges Filed

Both men were booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on multiple charges.

Jeffrey Alan Evans faces the following charges:

Aggravated assault (third-degree felony)
Theft of a firearm or vehicle (second-degree felony)
Possession of a firearm by a restricted person (third-degree felony)
Fraudulent possession of financial cards (two counts, third-degree felony)
Unlawful possession of another person’s ID (third-degree felony)

Allen Logan Hileman faces the following charges:

Aggravated assault (third-degree felony)
Reckless driving (class B misdemeanor, road rage enhancement)
Driving on a suspended license (class C misdemeanor, road rage enhancement)

Legal Proceedings

At this stage, all charges remain allegations, and both individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
