Page Six obtained a police report detailing how Luis was charged with “simple assault” after a 2018 road rage incident in New Jersey.
A source told the outlet: “This was a non-incident in 2018 and it’s even less of one in 2021.
“It was a disagreement between two grown men. There was no criminal conviction. The matter was resolved with a small fine and everybody went home.”
Luis was accused of getting into an altercation with Jesse Palmieri.
Police reports say Jesse stopped short in order to avoid hitting a squirrel, but when Luis tried to pass him, Jesse gave him “the finger.”
When Luis got to a stop sign, police say he pulled in front of Jesse’s car and “charged at Jesse’s driver side door” during an argument.
According to the report, Jesse tried to roll up his window, but Luis apparently push his hand in and hit him on the side of his head, knocking off his sunglasses.
Police said: “Luis then grabbed the top the window and began rocking it back and forth as if he was trying to break it.”
The police report went on that Jesse was able to close his window and even apologized to Luis.
However, police say Luis allegedly continued to bash “on the bottom of the window with his fists.”
When Luis finally got away, Jesse snapped a pic of his license plate.
