Midvale man charged for alleged road rage incident where he hit victim's car, swung metal pole
MIDVALE, Utah () — A Midvale man has been arrested and charged after backing into another person's vehicle and threatening them with a metal pole during a road rage incident. Tyson Lindberg, 41, has been charged with four counts of aggravated assault and one count of interfering with a police officer. According to court documents, a Unified Police officer was dispatched to a road rage incident. The victim told the officer that the incident started when he slowed down for another vehicle that was turning in front of him. This upset another driver on the road, who began following the victim. The angry driver, later identified as Lindberg, allegedly followed the victim all the way to an office building. In the parking lot, the two drivers got into a verbal altercation, and Lindberg backed his vehicle into the victim's vehicle, causing minor damage. The victim began recording on his phone, and captured Lindberg attempting to hit his vehicle again. At this point, Lindberg drove away, documents say. The victim followed behind in his own vehicle, trying to capture the license plate of Lindberg. When he was able to capture the license plate number, the victim pulled over.

The victim told police that Lindberg swung the pole at him, made verbal threats, and mimicked shooting the victim with his hands in the shape of a gun. After the threats, Lindberg got back into his vehicle and backed into the victim's vehicle again before driving away. The victim provided the license plate number to the Unified Police officer. The Unified Police Department went to the address registered to the license plate, and found it was Lindberg's residence. When they arrived, he was parked in the driveway with the door of his vehicle open. Police took Lindberg into custody, but he 'became agitated' and tried to slip out of his handcuffs. He also 'began pushing against officers to get out of the patrol vehicle,' while being arrested. Lindberg was successfully arrested and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail, where he is currently being held on a no-bail warrant.
