Man requests synthetic cocaine at store; fight breaks out

UNION (Oct. 15): More than a little tiff erupted in a store catering to the 1970s crowd when a man walked in asking for some synthetic cocaine, which the store employee confirmed he did not carry.

The employee apparently called the customer a “hippie” and asked him to leave. The customer said nobody better touch him, but the employee nudged him out the door. At that point, the customer estimated he took 15 swings at the employee’s face, landing many of his punches. Then the customer ran out to his vehicle, manned, he said, by his mother.
