ARAPAHOE COUNTY - The man who investigators say used his car as a weapon in killing two people on E-470 last month made his first court appearance Wednesday.
If convicted, Jason Reynolds of Parker faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Long time investigators with the Colorado State Patrol say there is no precedent set when it comes to charging an apparent road rage suspect with first-degree murder.
Prosecutors say although Reynolds didn't fire a gun or use a knife, he did turn his car into a weapon. Officials say he became angry with another driver while driving on westbound E-470 on Nov. 8.
Prosecutors report Reynolds slammed on his brakes directly in front of another car, causing a chain of events which killed two men. One man died after his car hit Reynolds' and the other was killed in a car driving the opposite direction.
No bond has been set for Reynolds, so he'll stay in jail until his preliminary hearing on Jan. 30. If he does leave jail, a judge has ruled he cannot drive.
Reynolds has a long history of aggressive driving, according to CSP. Officials sent him a warning letter six weeks before the accident.
