Javon L. Wilson, 30, of 215 E. Spring Court, was arrested after a traffic stop Oct. 7 on Interstate 77 near milepost 13 in Aurelius Township.
Washington County Assistant Prosecutor James Schneider said Wilson was following another vehicle too close, went to pass them without using a turn signal, and then drove back in front of the other vehicle, causing them to hit their brakes.
He was pulled over and law enforcement learned there was a warrant from Summit County for domestic violence.
