Man arrested for assault and battery, disturbing the peace

The Department of Public Safety arrested Inarrio Bisanen for disturbing the peace and assault and battery at a gas station in Chalan Piao last Jan. 3.

Police received a 911 call reporting an assault and battery incident at the gas station at about 10:30am that day. Police were dispatched to the scene.

Nearby police units in the area, arrived on scene and met with the caller. The caller told police that they witnessed a gas attendant get assaulted by a customer, who turned out to be Bisanen. Police then met with the victim, and immediately noticed that the victim had a swollen eye and a scratch on his nose.

The victim stated that they did not know the suspect, or why the suspect got angry.

Police learned from the victim and witnesses at the scene, that the victim was pumping fuel into other vehicles when the suspect drove his vehicle into one of the gasoline pumps. The victim went over to the Bisanen’s vehicle and asked how much gasoline he would like to purchase. The suspect stuck his hand out the driver side window and handed the victim a $20 bill. The victim ran into the gas station and returned with a receipt for $20 worth of fuel. The suspect grabbed the receipt and threw it back toward the victim. As the victim continued pumping fuel into the suspect’s vehicle, the suspect stepped out and walked toward the victim, the suspect asked the victim where they were staying, and what was their telephone number as he told the victim that he was going to kill him. The suspect then punched the victim in the eye, and removed the pump nozzle from his vehicle. The passenger of the vehicle came out and guided the suspect back into the vehicle before fleeing the scene.

Dispatch was notified and a description of the suspect and the vehicle he was driving was sent out to all officers. A few minutes later, a police unit conducting routine patrol through the village of Koblerville, noticed the described vehicle parked in front of a store. The officer pulled into the parking lot and confirmed the suspect as Bisanen.

He was transferred to the Department of Corrections where he was booked and detained.

DPS highly encourages the public to call 911 anytime to report an emergency. Our officers are here to help you. (PR)
