An Athens, Tennessee, woman claims she was terrorized by a hitchhiker.
The woman told police she and her young son picked up Stephen Conar. Along the way she says he threatened to kill himself.
When she dropped him off at his house, the woman says she saw the man put a rifle in his mouth. Then she says he got in a car and chased her, before slamming into her vehicle.
Conar told an officer he was following the woman because he had her cell phone and wanted to return it.
He's been charged with aggravated assault.
