According to the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office, on August 8, 2025, Atlantic City police received a report that a driver had pointed a gun at two people during an apparent road rage incident.

Authorities said Thomas was swerving in and out of traffic before a verbal confrontation occurred between him and the victims while they were in their respective vehicles. Officials said Thomas then exited his vehicle with a handgun and demanded that the victims pull over. When one victim said they were going to call the police, Thomas pointed the firearm at both victims as they drove away.
