47-year-old Myron Bullie, a Las Vegas gas station worker, is facing charges of attempted murder and battery with a deadly weapon after allegedly using a baseball bat to beat a customer in a violent altercation.

According to jail booking records, the incident took place before sunrise on September 3rd at an ARCO station located in the 5700 block of Rainbow Boulevard.

The victim was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, including brain bleeds and fractures to the skull and face. As of Tuesday morning, there was no update on the victim’s condition.

Based on an arrest report, the conflict began when Bullie accused the victim of taking too much nacho cheese, breaking the machine, and damaging items in the store. He reportedly asked the customer to leave, but the victim returned shortly after. At that point, Bullie attacked the man with a baseball bat.

Bullie later told investigators that the victim had “pissed him off” and admitted to hitting him twice, once in the head and once in the gut. According to the arrest report, Bullie was quoted saying, “Don’t talk [expletive] to me … Now everyone gonna see this and they’re gonna know never to talk [expletive] to me.”

Surveillance footage from the gas station shows Bullie striking the victim multiple times with the bat. When questioned by police, Bullie downplayed the severity of the blows, saying that if he had hit the victim harder, “his head would’ve been smashed on the [expletive] floor and he would’ve been dead.”

A 911 caller, who noticed the victim bleeding outside the gas station, told police that Bullie had refused to call for help, saying, “I’m not going to call 911, he better have learned a lesson.”
