A U.S. Secret Service agent was put on leave this week after being caught on video driving erratically at 80 mph on a North Carolina freeway and then briefly pulling over a fellow driver before speeding away in what appears to be a case of road rage.

Investigative reporter Stuart Watson at television station WCNC in Charlotte got the video from a tipster who recorded the incident while driving down the freeway. A spokesman for the Secret Service told WCNC that the agent, whose name was not released, had been put on paid leave while the situation is investigated.
