A 65-year-old man allegedly smacked the ear of the husband of his pregnant niece and tried to attack him with a tire wrench inside a poker arcade in Koblerville on Thursday afternoon. <\/p>\n
Vicente Sablan Basa was arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, and disturbing the peace.<\/p>\n
The police report did not indicate the motive for the attack. It alleged, however, that Basa was drunk at that time.<\/p>\n
A police officer was dispatched to a call on Thursday at 4:34pm about a disturbance at KB Poker in Koblerville.<\/p>\n
Another police officer also responded and arrested Basa, who was inside his car that was parked on the other side of the building.<\/p>\n
Police said that prior to the incident, the 35-year-old victim and his 7-month pregnant wife were playing inside KB Poker. Later, Basa\u2019s wife came and also played poker.<\/p>\n
Basa then came in and smacked the victim\u2019s left ear.<\/p>\n
The victim\u2019s wife got in between to prevent the fight. <\/p>\n
Basa pulled a tier wrench from his pants. As Basa was allegedly about to swing the tier wrench, the victim threw a chair at him.<\/p>\n
As a result, Basa lost his balance and fell. The victim and his wife ran outside and called the police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
