Two drivers were heading east on M-14 when they started to argue, police said. One of the drivers pointed a firearm at the other, causing a crash, officials said.

The second driver said the armed driver threw the weapon deep into the thick brush off of M-14, according to police.

State troopers and K-9 units found the pistol after a five-hour search, according to MSP. It was lying in the grass “a good distance” off the freeway, they said.

Police described the weapon as a “look-alike BB gun.”

The case is under prosecutor review, MSP said.
