NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Police in New Haven have accused a Wal-Mart worker of beating an assistant manager in a store aisle with an aluminum baseball bat after getting reprimanded for the second time in a few days.
Officer Joseph Avery said Tuesday that police are still looking for 26-year-old Barry Griffin. They plan to charge him with first-degree assault and breach of peace.
Avery says Griffin grabbed the bat off a shelf and hit 29-year-old assistant manager George Freibott of Seymour nearly a dozen times at about midnight Monday, after Freibott wrote Griffin up for poor job performance.
Avery says Freibott suffered a possible broken arm and many bruises.
Police say the store was closed to shoppers at the time.
