A Colorado man was arrested after allegedly breaking a window of a convenience store with a hammer in Salina.
According to the Saline County Sheriff's Office on the 4th of July, a 38-year old man named Nathan Seltzer who is from Aurora, CO went to the Singh Travel Plaza (2124 N. Hedville Rd.) and allegedly 'broke a window with a hammer.' The convenience store was closed when he broke the window at around 7:00 pm and according to the Sheriff's Office, Seltzer was 'frustrated' that the store was closed.
Seltzer then walked away, but the owners of the convenience store were still inside when the crime occurred. The owners went out to confront him and one of them reportedly 'took the hammer' from Seltzer and stated they would call the police.
Sheriff Roger Soldan stated that Seltzer then 'pushed' the owner that had the hammer, retrieved it and threatened both of the owners as he was 'swinging the hammer' towards them.
Saline County deputies arrived to the scene shortly after the owners called about the incident. They then arrested Seltzer who was still in the area.
He is facing requested charges of Criminal Damage to Property, Battery and Aggravated Assault.
