An Uzbekistani truck driver was arrested Sunday after a road rage incident evolved into an alleged knife pursuit off Interstate-80 in Uinta County, court documents say.
Alisher M Sabirov, 36, is a commercial semitruck driver who claims mixed martial arts experience, and who is now facing one count of aggravated assault (punishable by up to 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines) and another of reckless endangering (up to one year in jail and $750 in fines), in Evanston Circuit Court.

He’s being held on a $10,000 cash or surety bond, and his preliminary hearing is set for Friday.
The investigation started at about 3:37 p.m. Sunday, when a commercial truck driver, distressed and out of breath, called 911 to say another trucker had chased him around the area of Exit 33 off I-80, with a knife, says an evidentiary affidavit filed in the case.
