FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- An armed suspect is in jail after pulling a loaded gun on a tow truck driver who was simply in his way.

Officers say Silverio Valdez was stuck behind a tow truck in the middle of a job early Sunday morning. The driver of the tow truck says he approached the suspect's car but Valdez pulled out a loaded weapon and starting yelling at him.

Authorities later found a loaded revolver in Valdez's car when they pulled him over a short time later.

He's now in the Fresno County jail on multiple felony charges.
