Ramey pulled his truck in front of the van then slammed on his brakes and started calling the driver the n-word, according to the report. The victims got out of their vehicle and told Ramey to "get it together" and he responded by pulling out a shotgun, pointing it at the victims and telling them, "I will shoot you n-words," police said.
The victims got back inside their vehicle and drove to a nearby gas station. Ramey followed them there, but left when he saw the victim using the phone to call 911, according to the affidavit.
Ramey, 18, was pulled over near 1025 West International Speedway Blvd. Police said he had a shotgun on the front passenger seat of his Ford F-150 and another gun in the back. He had three glass containers with a total of 3.31 grams of marijuana in them, according to the report.
Police said they also found an open bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey that was about 75 percent empty and a 12-pack of Budweiser beer that had been opened.
Ramey told the officer that his day was not going well because he almost had to shoot someone near the bank, according to the report.
Both victims identified Ramey as the person who pointed the gun at them, police said.
Ramey was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, possession of marijuana and possession of alcohol by a person under 21.
