LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A Las Vegas gas station worker is accused of beating a customer with a bat over taking too much nacho cheese, according to an arrest report.
Myron Bullie is facing attempted murder and assault charges over the beating that happened around 4:11 a.m. Sept. 3 at an Arco gas station near Rainbow and Russell.
According to police, 911 was called after a man was found laying in the grass near the gas station bleeding from his head, nose and ears. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said the man couldn’t tell officers what happened to him and he was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Police asked the gas station attendant, later identified as Bullie, what happened. Bullie told police the victim was “talking [expletive]” and told him to leave the store.
The suspect “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” in getting nachos so he pushed him out of the store, the report said. Bullie told police he had a bat in hand and he “pissed me off” and hit him with the bat.
“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, the report said. They both begin to struggle over the batand Bullie seen punching victim in the face, then hitting him with the bat. When the victim gets up to walk away, Bullie hits him with the bat 3 more times, police said in the arrest report.
The victim was standing at a nearby business about a minute later and the suspect comes out again and hits 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. His next hearing was set for Sept. 23.
