#8 - Nazly Ortiz and Benjamin Greene
Texas couple Nazly Ortiz and Benjamin Greene were in a pickup truck traveling north along
Interstate 45 on July the 26th of 2022 when they became embroiled in a violent road rage incident.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the couple began tailgating another motorist,
who subsequently break-checked them. In a fit of rage, Ortiz and Greene followed the car off
an exit near Parramatta Lane. 34-year-old Greene, a reported Navy veteran, allegedly got out of the
truck and approached the other driver, whom he then assaulted. The victim reportedly attempted
to flee the scene, prompting 40-year-old Ortiz to exit the truck with a handgun and fire into
the backseat passenger window of the other vehicle. The motorist continued driving away,
at which point Ortiz allegedly fired another round in his direction, instead striking a
car dealership building located nearby. It was reported that the victim had been admitted to the
hospital with a possible graze wound, but was said to have been in stable condition. It subsequently
emerged that there had been a 2-year-old inside the victim’s car at the time of his run-in with
Ortiz and Greene, but the child was reported as having fortunately been left unharmed. The
rageful pickup drivers were consequently taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault,
while their bonds were reportedly set at $150,000 for Greene and $300,000 for Ortiz.

Amie Carter
In the late evening hours of February the 15th of 2015, Florida police were called to
the intersection of East Par Street and Formosa Avenue in Orlando after receiving reports of a
woman throwing a tantrum in the roadway. Upon their arrival, officers encountered 31-year-old
Amie Carter, unclothed in the middle of the street, blocking traffic. According to eyewitness
testimony, Carter, a local hairdresser, had performed an intimate act on herself in front of
a couple’s car before climbing on top of the hood and hurling a cell phone at the vehicle stopped
behind it. When the police attempted to remove her from the street, she offered strong resistance,
allegedly pulling on them and “kicking her legs in the air”. In the resulting arrest report, officers
noted that Carter appeared to have been under the influence of some sort of heavy substance
at the time of her bizarre public incident. She was booked into the Orange County Jail
on charges of criminal mischief and exposure of reproductive organs. It was later detailed
how the unhinged woman had caused approximately $1,500 in damage to the vehicle she’d mounted,
the owners of which subsequently expressed their intention to press charges against her.
#6 - Jeffrey Epstein
Florida doctor Jeffrey Epstein was filmed throwing a seemingly random temper tantrum
at Orlando International Airport on the morning of August the 16th of 2018. The 59-year-old man,
who shared no relation to the identically named New York financier and convicted felon,
was preparing to board an American Airlines flight when the situation abruptly escalated. Epstein
began berating the employee stationed behind the counter after she’d indicated that he may
miss his flight. Although none of the airline’s employees or the other travelers proceeded to
interact with the irate man, he continued ranting anyway, as was captured in a cell phone video
taken by a nearby witness. Shortly thereafter, as Epstein’s demonstrative raving persisted,
Orlando police arrived at the scene and asked him to leave, citing concern for the safety of
others in the airport. Epstein chose not to comply with law enforcement’s instructions,
however. It was later described how the man became even angrier after overhearing the
officers talking about the white froth that had reportedly formed around his lips during
his outburst. At one point, after Epstein allegedly kicked one of the policemen, they
sprayed mace at him and took him to the ground. As the officers placed the man in handcuffs,
he shouted that they were treating him “like a black person”. Epstein was charged with battery
on a law enforcement officer, resisting officer with violence and trespassing after warning
in connection to the incident. Speaking with an Orlando radio station after his
release from county jail on bond, Epstein claimed that, during his public blow up,
he was trying to “make a point” about the manner in which police officers interact with suspects.
#5 - Milo Richie
24-year-old model Milo Richie was involved in an altercation with security at Heathrow Airport on
the morning of January the 19th of 2019. The young man, who was reported as being the son
of prominent singer-songwriter Lionel Richie, had become furious with an airline employee who
refused to allow him onto a flight at Terminal 5. As tensions escalated, Richie allegedly “claimed
he had a bomb in his bag, which he'd detonate if he wasn't let on to the plane”. He was
subsequently approached by airport security, at which point he was accused of punching a guard.
Following the physical altercation, Richie was taken into the custody of local police,
but later released after reportedly accepting a caution, allowing him to avoid criminal
prosecution on charges of communicating false information causing a bomb hoax and battery.
#4 - Trey Songz
R&B singer Tremaine Aldon Neverson, better known by the stage name Trey Songz, was arrested
following an onstage outburst in December of 2016. According to subsequent reports, Neverson had been
performing at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan on the evening of the incident. Towards
the end of the night, the venue informed him that the concert would need to be cut short in
order to conform to an 11:30 pm curfew. As was shown in cell phone footage captured by members
of the audience, Neverson became infuriated by the decision to end his performance early, and began
throwing various objects, including microphones. Detroit police officers subsequently charged
the stage to stop him, at which point a police sergeant was reportedly struck in the head by
an object the artist had thrown and consequently suffered a concussion. Neverson was then arrested
for malicious destruction of property, as well as resisting and obstructing arrest.
In August of 2017, the singer pleaded guilty to 2 reduced counts of disturbing the peace, and was
ultimately sentenced to 18 months of probation, substance screening, and anger-management classes.
#3 - John Walter Miles
Shortly after 10 pm on April the 9th of 2021, former US Army Sergeant John Walter Miles
unleashed a racist, expletive-laden tirade towards employees of a Food Lion grocery store in Sumter,
South Carolina. According to a statement subsequently released by the local police
department, the incident had been sparked after a clerk had refused to sell alcohol to Miles,
who was already intoxicated at the time. The 27-year-old man flew into a fit of rage, allegedly
using racial slurs and various other profanities as he loudly chastised the grocery store’s
workers. Miles’ girlfriend attempted to hold him back and lead him out of the store several times,
but he repeatedly pushed her aside to continue berating the employees. A Sumter Police officer
was called to the scene, at which point Miles was escorted to his vehicle, and he then left
with his girlfriend and mother. A video recording of the former Army Sergeant’s outburst was widely
disseminated on social media, reportedly amassing more than 50,000 Twitter views within the first
week. As the situation began to garner national attention, a media relations officer at Fort
Jackson in South Carolina publicly clarified that Miles had already ended his association
with the US Army at the time of the incident. A warrant for the man’s arrest was later issued,
and he consequently faced charges of trespassing and aggravated breach of peace. After being booked
at a Sumter County detention center, Miles was placed on house arrest with a $15,465 bond.
#2 - Abigail Elphick
In a viral video that surfaced online in the summer of 2021, New Jersey woman Abigail Elphick
was captured having a meltdown in the middle of a Victoria’s Secret store at the Short Hills Mall.
The incident was reportedly triggered after another female shopper, identified as Ijeoma
Ukenta, had attempted to purchase some merchandise with a coupon. When the video recording began,
Elphick was shown charging towards the other woman with her hand raised as if she was
poised to strike. Upon realizing that Ukenta was filming her, Elphick’s demeanor promptly
shifted from one of aggression and anger to one of hysterical self-pity. She started crying,
chasing Ukenta around the store and demanding that the recording be stopped. As Elphick’s
public breakdown continued, she, at one point, began to convulse and screech in an infantile
attempt to make it appear as though she’d lost control of her behavior. According to an update
Ukenta later posted to her social media, Elphick eventually contacted the police and outright lied
about what happened. She allegedly claimed that it had been Ukenta who’d initially provoked the
confrontation and consequently caused her to have a panic attack. In the incident’s aftermath, the
overwhelming majority of the general public sided with Ukenta, who ultimately received more than
$100,000 in donations to help cover the legal fees associated with her court case against Elphick.
#1 - 2019 Singaporean Road Rage Incident
On July the 31st of 2019, a video surfaced online in which a man and a woman were shown
getting into an altercation with one another on a roadway in Singapore. In the recording, the
warring motorists were captured shouting profane insults at one another as they stood in the road
between their respective vehicles. At one point, after the 2 people had started shoving each other,
a bystander approached and tried to break them up, telling them to “stop fighting and call the
police”. Although it wasn’t made clear what had specifically triggered the drivers’ dispute,
the woman’s truck did appear to have sustained some sort of damage in the video. Tensions between
the 2 parties ultimately reached a boiling point when the female driver retrieved a tire iron from
her truck, which she then used to smash one of the man’s side mirrors. The authorities were
eventually called to the scene, at which point both the 23-year-old man and the woman, aged 24,
were taken into custody on charges of affray, or disturbing the peace.
