CORVALLIS, Ore. — An Oregon State baseball pitcher has been suspended after being accused of assaulting a clerk trying to close a store.
Corvallis police allege that 21-year-old Clay Jacob Bauer forced his way into the University Market about 1 a.m. Saturday seeking chewing tobacco and cigarettes.
An officer’s affidavit says he was told the store was closing, chased an employee, grabbed him by the neck and shoved him against a display door. As Bauer left the store, the affidavit says, he punched the front doors and shattered the glass.
The Corvallis Gazette-Times reports Bauer was arrested half an hour later.
