CONWAY, Ark. — A man accused of using a squeegee to hit another man during a fight over who was first in line at a gas pump was due in court on charges. The man, Hector Chavez, 21, was to be arraigned Friday in FaulknerCounty Circuit Court on a second-degree battery charge.
A Conway police report said the victim told officers that he was waiting in line at a gas pump when Chavez cut in front of him. The victim — who was not identified — said he confronted Chavez with the squeegee and swung at him before Chavez took the squeegee and began beating him with it.
A phone listing could not be found for Chavez and it wasn't clear whether he had an attorney.
