PORTLAND — A 43-year-old man was arrested Friday after allegedly berating a Southeast Portland gas station employee with anti-Muslim slurs, throwing items at the worker and threatening to kill him.
Brian Christopher Miller was arrested on suspicion of first-degree criminal mischief and third-degree robbery. He was booked into jail but has since been released on his own recognizance.
The incident unfolded Friday night at a Chevron gas station convenience store at 14440 S.E. Division St.
Video footage shows a man yelling anti-Muslim slurs while stealing merchandise, throwing items at the worker and destroying a food case and cash register.
He then starts approaching the worker behind the counter until the worker appears to hide in a back room.
