HUTCHINSON, Minn. (KEYC) Police on Wednesday responded to a report about a customer refusing to wear their mask in the Hutchinson Menards.
The officers who arrived soon learned the man, 61-year-old Luke Oeltjenbruns, had reportedly jabbed the Menards employee with pieces of floor trim he picked up in the store.
The situation then escalated when he refused to stop for the police leading to a low speed chase.
“Multiple officers were there,” Hutchinson police chief Thomas Gifferson said. “One officer was at the driver’s side door giving him instructions on what they wanted him to do. He failed to comply with all instructions.”
