The man was traveling in the left lane in the opposite direction, police said. Several cars would have had to brake or swerve. A breath alcohol test showed that the wrong-way driver had set out on his life-threatening tour with an alcohol level of 1.01 per mille.

According to police reports, the senior citizen went to his neighbor’s apartment around 3:30 p.m. to ask him to reduce the volume of his music. The conversation apparently escalated, with the younger man becoming aggressive and pointing to a gun in his waistband. He is said to have verbally threatened the 71-year-old.
