HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 22-year-old Houston man in Hutchinson for work was arrested early Thursday morning after he reportedly threatened two people with a tire jack.
It happened in the parking lot of Walmart around 12:45 a.m. Aaron Pyykola apparently got into an argument with two people. He then got into his vehicle trunk and grabbed a tire jack. Pyykola threatened the two people, who then walked away.
Police caught up with Pyykola at the Atrium Hotel, where he’s staying, and arrested him for aggravated assault and driving while suspended.
In court, he asked for a signature bond. However, he has a pending case in Houston where he’s accused of evading an officer while on a dirt bike. Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen only agreed to lower the bond to $3,500.
He’ll be back in court on July 26.
