ASSAULT/CIVIL MATTER
Co-worker friendship marked with issues: A former employee of a Highland Road business told police on August 15th, that he quit a job several days before over an alleged altercation with another employee over the length of breaks.
The man told police an employee took extra-long breaks which caused the shift to work longer hours.
The former employee told police he tried to talk it over with the alleged alloyed break breaker and a verbal argument ensued.
The former employee told police both men cussed at each other multiple times, according to the report. He told police he ultimately threw a marker at the man, which hit him in the chest.
Eventually the altercation was de-escalated by other employees and their mutual boss. The two men were instructed to work on opposite sides of the warehouse for the remainder of their shift.
Later that afternoon, the two met again near their lockers.
Another verbal argument ignited, and the former employee was allegedly told “If I get fired because of you, I will get you.”
The former employee told police that “was his last straw.” The man felt threatened, discussed the matter with the boss, and left the company’s employ.
The former employee wanted to press assault charges.
Police advised the man the issue was a civil matter but turned the report over to the city prosecutor for review.
