Overview
- Two motorists reported that a white Hyundai Tucson driver pointed a handgun at them during a traffic confrontation on U.S. 1 near Education Way and North State Street, which occurred Friday, July 31.
- Flagler County deputies located the Tucson, officers took each victim separately to the vehicle for independent show‑up identifications, and both victims positively identified the driver as 33‑year‑old Joshua Alexander Walker.
- While securing the vehicle deputies saw firearm magazines in plain view and detectives later obtained and executed a search warrant on Aug. 3 that recovered a Taurus 9mm handgun and three loaded magazines for evidence.
- Walker was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, a third‑degree felony, and is being held on $25,000 bond at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility.
- Public records show Walker faced a similar May 2023 road‑rage allegation that led to a no‑contest plea in a pretrial intervention program and a prosecution that was ended without a conviction in Feb. 2026, a history officials say underlines concerns about armed confrontations on area roads.
