SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Deputies with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) have arrested a Fred Meyer employee for allegedly assaulting his coworkers.
The assault occurred at the Fred Meyer on North Division Street. According to SCSO, the incident began after the suspect got into a heated confrontation with his coworkers. During that exchange, the suspect reportedly lost control of his temper and began grabbing items off the shelves and swinging them around, hitting at least two people.
One of those items thrown was a folding camp saw, which cut one of the suspect's coworkers. Deputies say that victim has non-life threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
At this time, the suspect is facing two counts of second-degree assault. He was released on his own recognizance on Friday and can't have any contact with Fred Meyer employees. He also can't go to any Fred Meyer location.
