Haines City, FL – On Thursday, November 6, 2025, at approximately 7:55 a.m., the Haines City Police Department responded to a road rage incident involving a firearm near U.S. Highway 27 and Davenport Boulevard.
A victim traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 27 with a 3-year-old child in the backseat reported that a white Lexus SUV pulled out in front of his vehicle, forcing evasive action to avoid a collision. The victim regained his lane and proceeded ahead of the Lexus. The Lexus then moved into the center lane, pulled alongside the victim’s passenger side, and discharged multiple rounds.
The victim called 911 and provided the suspect’s license plate number. Officers located three spent 9mm shell casings in the roadway. The plate traced to a vehicle registered to a female who was not involved. The owner had loaned the vehicle to 46-year-old Charles Fitzalbert Worges.
In-car camera footage showed the suspect’s arm extending from the driver’s window holding a firearm, with three visible muzzle flashes as rounds were fired into the air.
Worges was located and arrested during a traffic stop by the Haines City Police Department’s Crime Suppression Team. He was charged with one count of Discharging a Firearm from Within a Vehicle (while being the driver and within 1,000 feet of another person) and one count of Aggravated Assault with a Firearm (without intent to kill).
No injuries were reported.
