A road rage incident on Interstate 77 moved to a convenience store parking lot where a man was thrown to the ground and had his cell phone taken, said Iredell Sheriff Darren Campbell.

Campbell said the 29-year-old man, from Athens, Ga., was driving north on I-77 around 5:30 p.m. Sunday when another vehicle cut him off in traffic. The man told deputies he used his cell phone in an attempt to record video the other driver.

He got off I-77 at Exit 54 and went to the Citgo station at 939 Turnersburg Highway to use the restroom. The other driver followed him to the gas station and approached him, Campbell said. The suspect picked up the other driver, slammed him to the ground and took his cell phone.

Campbell said detectives are attempting to get surveillance footage from the store in the hopes it will aid in the investigation.
