56-Year-Old Man Arrested for Threatening Driver With Gun at Evans Chick-fil-A

 EVANS, GA — A tense confrontation at a busy Chick‑fil‑A in Evans ended with the arrest of Terry Richard Jackson, 56, after deputies say he displayed a firearm and threatened another driver during a road rage incident.

According to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, the altercation unfolded in the restaurant’s drive‑thru parking lot earlier this week. Witnesses reported that Jackson became enraged during a traffic dispute and allegedly pointed a gun at another driver. Deputies say Jackson then issued a chilling threat, telling the victim: “Do you want to go to the grave tonight?”

Law enforcement quickly responded to the scene, and Jackson was taken into custody without further incident. He has been charged with terroristic threats and acts, a serious offense under Georgia law that carries significant penalties.

The incident has sparked concern among residents, as the confrontation occurred in a crowded public space where families and children were present. Authorities emphasized that such reckless behavior will not be tolerated and that swift action was taken to ensure the safety of everyone at the restaurant.

Community members expressed shock at the threat, noting that Chick‑fil‑A is typically a family‑friendly environment. Deputies reassured the public that the situation was contained and that Jackson will face prosecution for his actions.

The case remains under investigation, and officials say additional details may be released as court proceedings move forward.
