(KNSI) – An alleged fight over a parking space has landed a 70-year-old Sartell man in jail.
Police were called to an apartment building on the 2500 block of Stearns Way after a resident said Michael Connor attacked him with a screwdriver.
The victim told police Connor was upset he was using a handicapped parking space without having handicapped plates, a sticker, or a placard.
A woman who witnessed the alleged attack and works in the building says she was talking to the man about his use of the parking space when Connor attacked him, hitting him in the face with the screwdriver before threatening the man, telling him, “I’ll cut you open in your sleep.” She also told police that Connor threatened to kill both of them.
Police say the man was bleeding from a small cut on his face.
Connor was charged with felony threats of violence and fifth-degree assault and released on $30,000 bail.
He is due back in court February 19th.
