81-year-old Ore. man accused in machete chase near taco stand
SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Police say an 81-year-old man was arrested after he chased another man around a Salem taco stand while armed with a machete.
Salem police said Monday that Manuel Meza accused the taco stand owner of stealing a drill from his nearby business. When the taco stand owner denied it, Meza left and returned with a machete.
Lt. Dave Okada says Meza chased the unidentified man around the stand several times before officers arrested him on accusations of menacing and attempted assault. He was booked into the Marion County Jail.
There were no injuries in Sunday's incident.
