Police charged a man with firing two shots at another driver during an alleged road rage incident late Friday night after tracking the suspect down through his personalized license plate: BIGILN.

Douglas Freeman, 65, was charged Sunday with first-degree terroristic threatening after he allegedly cut off another vehicle on the H-1 freeway at about 10 p.m. Friday and then fired two shots at the car. The bullets struck the vehicle, but the 23-year-old driver was unharmed.

Freeman also is charged with reckless endangerment and a firearms violation.

Freeman appeared Monday in Hono­lulu District Court and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Freeman was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail. He was initially arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder.

In a police affidavit, the driver of the other car said he was driving east on the H-1 freeway Friday night when Freeman pulled up next to him in a blue Chevy Trailblazer and started yelling at him. The driver said he could not make out what Freeman was saying.

The driver, who is in the military, said he heard two shots and heard the bullets hit his car on the driver’s side.

The driver said he took down the license plate of Freeman’s vehicle as it sped away on the airport viaduct offramp.

Police traced the car to a Kakaako high-rise apartment building and saw a loaded firearms magazine on the front passenger seat.

Freeman was arrested after being identified by the victim in a field lineup.
