The man accused of running Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller’s vehicle off a highway earlier this week turned himself in, authorities announced Friday.
Feras Hamdan, 36, of Westlake, Ohio, is awaiting a court appearance on an aggravated menacing charge after voluntarily surrendering with an attorney present, according to a news release from police in Rocky River, a Cleveland suburb.
Local authorities, Capitol Police, Ohio State Highway Patrol, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Ohio are investigating the alleged road raid incident.
Miller has also sought a restraining order against Hamdan.
Miller’s office declined to comment because of the pending investigation.
“As I was driving to work, some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road, when he couldn’t get my attention, to show me a Palestinian flag, not to mention death to Israel, death to me — that he wanted to kill me and my family,” Miller said in a video posted to the social platform X on Thursday.
Miller, who is Jewish, described the incident as “blatant antisemitic violence” in the video.
The lawmaker servied as an aide to President Trump during his first term in the White House.
