AUBURN — A South Portland man accused of attacked another man with a machete after a road rage incident has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
The Sun Journal reported that Carlos Genoves, 52, was sentenced to more than two months in jail after pleading guilty to criminal threatening. Prosecutors dismissed two felony counts of aggravated assault and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon.
Police say the man told officers the attack happened on Aug. 6 after he yelled at Genoves, of South Portland, who had allegedly been driving erratically on a Lewiston road.
Police say Genoves followed him to his home in Sabattus, and the two started to argue. That’s when police say Genoves removed a “machete-type knife” from the trunk of his car and attacked the man. He suffered minor injuries.
