Batten got out of his Cadillac Escalade and walked toward Beason&amp;#39;s truck. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I recall saying &amp;#39;What is your problem? You&amp;#39;d have to stop for the stoplight anyway,&amp;#39;&amp;#39; he testified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Batten was about two feet away, Beason pulled a silver revolver from his console and set it on the passenger seat, Batten testified. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Batten said he raised his hands, backed off and looked at the license plate number.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He and his &lt;strong&gt;fiancée&lt;/strong&gt; then called 911 and followed Beason&amp;#39;s truck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
