CINCINNATI -- A man jumped over the counter at a gas station and assaulted the clerk Friday after the pump would not authorize his payment, Mount Healthy police said.
According to the Mt. Healthy Police Department, the suspect’s brother entered the UDF store and helped him carry out the assault.
Dante Jerome Nelson, 32, was arrested after officers matched the victim’s description of his vehicle. He is charged with aggravated trespassing and assault, according to police records.
