NAPLES, Fla. - A Mariah Carey song inspires an apparent case of road rage in Collier County.
The song was "One Sweet Day," but things didn't end so sweetly for the couple listening to it in their car. Zachary Schreiber and his fiance were playing the song while driving their convertible down Pine Ridge Road in North Naples Saturday.
When they stopped at an intersection, Schreiber's fiance says a passenger in another car called Schreiber a derogatory name for listening to the song and according to deputies, that started a mile-and-a-half shouting match between the two cars.
The argument ended when Schreiber allegedly threw a beer bottle at the other passenger, who ducked, causing the bottle to hit the driver in the head.
Many drivers say they've seen road rage, but this case, tops the charts.
"I'd have to say that person had some issues because that's a pretty nice song, actually," Dustin Kellermeyer said.
Schreiber was at work all day Monday and was not available for comment, but his fiance says he has hired an attorney for the incident. He is charged with shooting a missile into a vehicle and criminal mischief.

The editor should learn the difference between fiance and fiancee. I don't know how 3 instances of the wrong one could have made it into this article.

How can someone be arrested on hearsay. Where is the evidence (the bottle), finger prints on the bottle, witnesses. It is all speculation. All becouse someone likes that song it's sickning.
