A man is facing numerous charges after going on a rampage inside a convenience store.
Salina Police Captain Jim Feldman tells KSAL News on January 28th, a 45-year old man identified as Stephen Davis walked into the 24/7 Travel Store at 671 Westport Blvd. He allegedly started yelling at employees that he needed to retrieve money from an ATM. Store management called police and demanded that he leave due to his disruptive behavior.
Davis then caused a commotion by throwing items inside the store. A 53-year old male customer was physically harmed, but not seriously injured. Davis also allegedly demanded that a 32-year old man give him money. There was a physical altercation after the man refused to give his money to Davis. There were no injuries in the scuffle.
