Upon investigation, it was determined that the victim was traveling on Dares Beach Road when she was tailgated by a silver sedan being operated in an aggressive and erratic manner. The suspect vehicle continued to follow closely and drive aggressively. The victim reported that the suspect vehicle eventually passed her on the shoulder of Dares Beach Road and then intentionally “brake checked” her by abruptly stopping in front of her vehicle. Fearing for her safety, the victim began recording the suspect vehicle with her cellular phone. The suspect vehicle then came to a stop in the roadway on Emmanuel Church Road. At that time, the driver of the suspect vehicle leaned out of the driver’s side window and pointed a black handgun toward the victim clearly visible in the video footage. The operator of the suspect vehicle was positively identified as Liza Sue Castles, 59 of Huntingtown. A search warrant was subsequently executed at Castles’ residence, where a handgun matching the firearm observed in the video footage was recovered. Castles was taken into custody and charged with First-Degree Assault and Reckless Endangerment.
