COLFAX, Calif. (KTXL) -- Placer County Sheriff's officials received reports of an assault at a Dollar General in Colfax at 9 p.m. on March 4.
When deputies arrived, they said they found 37-year-old Daniel Lindland trying to burn an unidentified victim with a blowtorch outside the store.
After multiple unsuccessful attempts to convince Lindland to drop the blowtorch, deputies said they had to use a baton to knock the blowtorch out of Lindland's hand. Lindland resisted by taking a hold of the baton before being disarmed and taken into custody, according to officials.
Lindland is now facing multiple assault charges.
