Forget Pain, Try Violence At The Pump

CYPRESS, Calif. (AP) ― Violence broke out at the gas pumps in Orange County.

Police say a La Palma doctor waiting in line to buy gas at the Costco warehouse store in Cypress grabbed a tire iron and confronted a motorist who cut into the line.

Sgt. Tom Bruce says Dr. Antonio Reyes was arrested and booked for investigation of brandishing a deadly weapon in a rude, angry or threatening manner, a misdemeanor.

Witnesses told police the 58-year-old Reyes was in line at the pumps Monday evening when another vehicle cut in front of him. When Reyes confronted the motorist with a tire iron, the other driver locked himself in his car and called police.
