A Raleigh real estate developer testified this morning that Don Beason pulled a gun on him at a gas station.
Jason Batten told the court that he pulled into a gas station off Oberlin Road in Cameron Village around lunchtime on July 6 to buy an Excedrin for his fiancée.
When he pulled in front of Beason's pickup, Beason began honking his horn. Batten got out of his Cadillac Escalade and walked toward Beason's truck.
"I recall saying 'What is your problem? You'd have to stop for the stoplight anyway,'' he testified.
When Batten was about two feet away, Beason pulled a silver revolver from his console and set it on the passenger seat, Batten testified.
Batten said he raised his hands, backed off and looked at the license plate number.
He and his fiancée then called 911 and followed Beason's truck.
