Man sprayed with bear repellent in alleged road rage incident

A man was sprayed in the face with bear repellent during an alleged road rage incident in Southbury last week.  Southbury Police responded to Old Waterbury Road Thursday on a report of two residents with pain in their face and eyes.  The Connecticut Post reports that 27-year old Jesse Zehall admitted to spraying the men after he said one of them broke his mirrors and screamed at him.  The man who was directly sprayed was identified as 67-year old Charles Weise.  He reportedly felt Zehall was driving dangerously close and too fast.  Police said Zehall reported driving by the men three times and “had a verbal altercation each time before deciding to spray the man on the third go around. Zehall was charged with breach of peace and two counts of assault.  Weise was charged with breach of peace and criminal mischief.
