Police said Sloss got out of his vehicle and began yelling at the driver of the Lincoln about remote-controlled cars the man was supposed to be fixing for him.

Sloss slapped the man then reached into his waistband, pulled out a handgun and inserted an extended magazine, according to the report.

Police said Sloss yelled, "Don't think I won't off you," before he fired a round into the passenger's side window. A woman who was inside the Lincoln tried to get out at that point but Sloss was still yelling, "Don't think I won't off one of these (expletives)," according to authorities.

Police said that's when Sloss drove off.

One man suffered cuts from the shards of glass, but no one else was injured.

Sloss is wanted on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Anyone with information concerning his whereabouts is asked to call Detective Scott Brunier at 386-671-5266 or email him at BrunierScott@dbpd.us.
