“NEW: Millionaire cyclist who went viral for harassing a man for “driving too close,” nearly has a panic attack after police tell him *he* will be receiving a citation.
73-year-old cyclist Gary Peacock harassed and detained a young man for driving “too close” to him.
Dashcam footage however shows that the young man, 22-year-old Pierce Kempton, actually moved his car to the left to avoid Peacock.
The incident happened in Park City, Utah.
When the police arrived, Peacock was adamant on having the police cite Kempton but tried backtracking after they told him that *he* would also be getting a citation for disorderly conduct.
The police officer told him it was too late.
“He doesn’t have to get out of his car for you, he doesn’t have to identify for you, you are not law enforcement.”
“You were adamant that you asked for a ticket, and now, because you’re getting one, you want him to get out of it.”
Kempton’s charge was dismissed after he presented his dashcam footage.
Peacock was charged with disorderly conduct.
FAFO.”

You can watch the driver’s POV here.
Also, the driver’s dashcam video makes it reasonably clear he’d done nothing wrong.
