The driver of a vehicle that was struck from behind on Hunt Road Tuesday morning in an apparent case of road rage relayed the location of the suspect vehicle to 9-1-1 dispatchers until Bradley County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene. Just after 8 a.m. Jon Hicks contacted the communications center to report a pickup truck struck the rear bumper of his vehicle twice while both traveled along Hunt Road. After the second collision the truck sped away.  John David Kaiser Jr. Hicks followed the suspect and kept dispatchers advised by cell phone. Traffic Division deputies caught up with the two vehicles on Dalton Pike and there they took the suspect into custody. John David Kaiser Jr., age 52, is charged with reckless endangerment, a felony, and failure to exercise due care as a result of the crash. Kaiser was brought to the Bradley County jail where he posted bond and was released. Only minor damage resulted to both vehicles.
