The driver ordered the passengers to exit the vehicle.

All occupants then left the vehicle as the argument continued. The driver then allegedly displayed a firearm before getting back in the vehicle and driving away. The incident reportedly occurred near the intersection of Razorback Road and Meadow Street. Please be alert and cautious.
