LINN COUNTY, Oregon (KPTV) — The Linn County Sheriff’s Office says a man is in custody after driving through a business and hitting an employee Monday.
Deputies responded at 4:22 p.m. to the 3800 block of Mason Road in Albany after receiving reports of a disturbance.
Authorities arrived, finding employees of the business holding down a man, later identified as 55-year-old Robert France, from Alamogordo, New Mexico, in the parking lot.
Witnesses told deputies France had driven his green 1997 GMC Yukon through the front of the business, hitting a 35-year-old employee. France then got out of his car, threatening another employee with a knife before he was restrained.
The 35-year-old employee is currently being treated in serious condition at a local hospital, according to officials.
France was arrested and lodged into the Linn County Jail for first-degree assault. The LCSO says additional charges are pending.
