The road rage incident unfolded when Goins became enraged because of “glaring headlights,” according to the affidavit.
Goins allegedly threw pasta with sauce through his passenger window and hit a man who was driving in another vehicle, the affidavit said.
The victim was not injured in the pasta attack, although he likely became covered in sauce on his arm, legs and torso, according to the affidavit.
