A road rage incident that occurred in Fillmore on Monday, April 1st, led to the arrest of an Oxnard man and woman for possessing a stolen firearm and a dagger.

On April 1st at approximately 9:45 a.m., Fillmore patrol deputies were alerted to a road rage incident that occurred at Telegraph Road and SR 126 in Fillmore.
