PORTLAND, Ore. - A Corbett man accused of pointing a gun at five teenagers in a case of road rage and leaving them stranded in the middle of the night appeared in court Thursday.
    
Deputies said William Willis, 29, stopped his car on Haines Road Saturday night and allegedly ordered the teens out of their car and onto the ground at gunpoint.

Investigators said he then took the keys to the teens' car, got back in his own car and drove away, leaving them stranded.

Deputies said Willis believed the teenagers were driving erratically.

Willis has been charged with five counts of menacing and five counts of unlawful use of a firearm.
