EDGEWATER, Fla. - James Seiler, the man accused in a road rage shooting in Edgewater, Florida, has been extradited to Volusia County following his arrest in Georgia last month, police said. He'll make his first appearance before a judge on Thursday afternoon.
Seiler was captured on July 23 in McIntosh, Georgia after an eight-day manhunt.
Seiler and another woman, Brittany Seiler, who was arrested in St. John's County, was wanted in connection to a road-rage incident on July 15 in Edgewater, near SR 442 and Air Park Road.
He's accused of hitting another driver in the head, and then firing multiple rounds.
"Typical road rage issue. They had a problem in traffic, one vehicle cutting off another vehicle, pretty minor stuff," Edgewater Police Capt. Aaron Soltz told FOX 35 News.
Capt. Soltz said they believe Seiler used a surveying stick he pulled from the ground.
