Ferry Street 76 Clerk Assaulted During Robbery

A Wenatchee man assaulted a clerk at the 76 gas station on Ferry Street Friday.

Sergeant Erik Vasquez said 22-year-old Dale Alderman went into the 76 station around 11:20 Friday morning

"(While) trying to grab some candy and some alcohol, he became upset while inside the store and started throwing items." explained Vasquez, "He managed to grab some candy and some alcohol and go towards the front door. The clerk contacted him at the front door, and then the fight ensued."

Aldeman then punched the clerk several times before fleeing. Wenatchee police apprehended Aldeman a short time later and he was booked into the Chelan County Jail on suspicion of 2nd degree robbery.

Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be a factor.

The condition of the clerk is unknown.
