POTOMAC, Md. (WUSA9) -- On Wednesday, a Potomac man was found guilty of nine counts related to a road rage incident at Montgomery Mall.

Court officials say that 25-year-old David Benjamin Goldberg cut Clifton Botts and Rachel Peterson in the parking lot of the shopping mall in November 2013 after a dispute over who had the right-of-way.

According to the police investigation, a dispute occurred between the three at a stop sign on the road that circles the mall. Goldberg drove through an intersection without coming to a complete stop and Botts and Peterson believed he had cut in front of them. Botts honked the horn at Goldberg and Goldberg yelled at them, according to documents. Botts then followed Goldberg to the next stop, where they got out of the car. Goldberg took off in his car.
