Phoenix Man Found Guilty Of Aggravated Assault In Road Rage Incident

A Yavapai County jury has convicted 40-year-old Scott Alen Woodruff of Phoenix, for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

The guilty verdicts followed a January 23, 2023 incident where Woodruff sideswiped another vehicle on I-17, near Cordes Junction, Ariz. Both vehicles stopped and Woodruff exited his vehicle and approached the victim. Woodruff attempted to leave after the victim said he was calling the police. When the victim asked Woodruff to stay until law enforcement arrived, Woodruff drew a revolver, pointed it in the victim’s face, and threatened to kill him. Woodruff then fled the scene.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 9, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. Woodruff faces five to 15 years in prison.
