Step Away from the Machete

Police said an 81year-old man was arrested after he chased another man around a Salem, Oregon taco stand while armed with a machete.

Salem police said the man accused the taco stand owner of stealing a drill from his own, nearby business. When the taco stand owner hotly denied it, the suspect left and returned with a machete.

Lt. Dave Okada said the suspect chased the unidentified man around the stand several times before officers arrested him on charges of menacing with a deadly weapon and attempted assault.

He was booked into the Marion County Jail. There were no body parts lost or injuries in the incident.
