Thursday 26 June 2008A local man has been arrested after allegedly terrorizing a bicyclist. Anthony John Valerio age 37 of Greenbrier Street in Woodbury was arrested by the Cannon County Sheriff’s Department after he reportedly came close to striking the biker on Old Murfreesboro Road. When the bicyclist confronted the man about nearly hitting him Valerio allegedly slammed on his brakes and caused the victim to slam into the back of his car and land on the hood. The biker allegedly then bounced off the trunk and landed on the roadway. Officers immediately swore out warrants for Valerio after being notified of the incident and charged him with felony reckless endangerment by use of a motor vehicle and failure to allow appropriate space for a bicyclist to ride on a roadway. The victim was not seriously injured during the incident. Valerio is currently free on $3 000.00 bond and will appear before General Sessions Judge Susan Melton on July 1 2008.
