Details On 12/23/2012, at approximately 5:40pm, Madison Police were dispatched to a road rage incident, which occurred in the Northport and Sherman Avenue area.

Police noticed cuts to the bleeding hand of Buell, and he was placed under arrest. Buell stated he was trying to get away from the Honda that had been tailgating him, and offered to pay for the window! He was conveyed to the Dane County Jail.
