Gas station worker accused of beating customer with bat for taking too much nacho cheese
LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) - A gas station worker is accused of beating a customer with a baseball bat over taking too much nacho cheese, according to an arrest report.
Myron Bullie is charged with attempted murder and assault after police responded to an Arco gas station in Las Vegas and found a man lying in the grass bleeding from his head, nose and ears.
Police said the man could not tell officers what happened to him and he was taken to the hospital.
Police asked Bullie what happened and he told police that the victim was “talking [expletive]” and told him to leave the store.
Bullie “then showed officers a cheese machine that [victim] broke” and then explained that the victim wasn’t trying to steal, “but [Bullie] was upset that [victim] was getting [too] much cheese from the nacho cheese machine,” the arrest report said.
Bullie reportedly told the victim to leave the store and not break things but said the victim “insisted” on getting nachos so he pushed him out of the store, the report said. Bullie told police he had a baseball bat and hit the victim.
“Don’t talk [expletive] to me...Now everyone gonna see this and they’re gonna know never to talk [expletive] to me,” Bullie told police, according to the arrest report.
Video surveillance showed the suspect pushing the man out of the business. They both begin to struggle over the bat and Bullie is seen punching the victim in the face, then hitting him with the bat.
When the victim gets up to walk away, Bullie hits him with the bat three more times, police said in the arrest report.
The victim was standing at a nearby business about a minute later and the suspect came out again and hit him with the bat “with such force that [victim] falls to the floor and does not get up until several minutes later,” the arrest report said.
Police said the victim had two brain bleeds, multiple skull fractures, blood in his ears, air in his brain and multiple facial fractures.
Bullie had a sprained wrist from the beating, police said.
Bullie’s bail was set at $10,000, according to court records.
