Police, talk radio hosts and fellow drivers are irate after an apparent stunt club tangled traffic in the middle of a busy New Mexico interstate.

Eyewitnesses captured the drivers on camera as they did donuts, causing Interstate 25 traffic to come to a chaotic, screeching halt.

Talk radio hosts berated the dangerous stunts, calling the drivers “idiots, morons, scumbags, losers.”

Incredibly, some of the admitted drivers called into the show to excuse themselves.

“I think it’s kind of offensive that you would call us scumbags. Like, why scumbags?” one man said with a laugh.

“It goes on all around the country,” he said, adding, “It’s happened before in Albuquerque and it wasn’t such a big deal.”

Another caller thought it was “pretty cool,” saying “there’s nothing wrong with that.” He admitted it would have been his fault if someone got hurt. “I would’ve took off, hauling ass. I’ve already done it before. What’s one more time?”

KOAT reports police arrested 18-year-old Ivan Alejandro Guardado-Fuentes in connection with the stunts.

They say after a group of vehicles did donut on the interstate, a fellow driver pursued them. During a confrontation between those drivers, Fuentes pulled up in a separate truck and brandished a gun.

While he apparently doesn’t deny halting traffic with the donuts, he denies pointing a gun.

“I didn’t do it. I’m innocent,” he said to reporters while being escorted by police. “They’re saying that I pointed a gun at someone, and I don’t even own a gun.”

Witnesses reported the truck’s license plate and Fuentes’ description.

Police say someone picked him out of a photo lineup. He was arrested Wednesday night.

“If it wasn’t for the public coming to us with the information that they had, we probably wouldn’t be able to track these people down,” Officer Daren Deaguero said during a press conference.
