SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a case of alleged road rage and have made an arrest.

Just after 11:30 a.m. Tuesday , officers responded to an off-duty officer in trouble call at Kellogg and Meridian, according to officer Charley Davidson.

  Officers received information of a large physical disturbance on Kellogg and an off-duty officer being on the scene.

Through the investigation, it was learned a road rage incident occurred between 51-year-old Tyrone Inkelaar who was driving a black pickup and a 63-year-old man driving a white pickup. 

Inkelaar stopped in front of the white truck on Kellogg, exited his vehicle, and ran toward the other driver.  A physical disturbance then ensued. 

An off-duty community service officer observed the incident, stopped, and alerted witnesses to call 911. Officers arrested Inkelaar without incident and booked him into jail on a charge of simple battery, according to Davidson.  Inkelaar and the other driver only sustained minor injuries.

The case will be presented to the City of Wichita Prosecutor's Office
