A 24-year-old transient man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault and several other charges after allegedly threatening an employee at a Lawrence business with a broken liquor bottle Saturday afternoon.

Chad Andrew Kassen was found asleep in the business, which was open at the time, by the employee and asked to leave, said Sgt. Craig Shanks of the Lawrence Police Department. Police did not disclose the name of the business so that the victim would not be identified.

Kassen reportedly spit on the employee before leaving the store, located in 1200 block of West Sixth Street, only to return again and break a bottle of liquor and threaten the employee with it, Shanks said. Kassen then fled west, where he was apprehended shortly thereafter at McDonald’s, 1309 W. Sixth St., Shanks said.

Kassen was being held in the Douglas County Jail without bond Saturday evening on suspicion of multiple charges, including aggravated assault, criminal trespass, criminal damage to property and battery, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office booking log.
