Olmsted County Adult Detention Center records indicate Vasquez was booked into the jail on the arrest warrant Friday afternoon. He faces charges of second-degree assault and fifth-degree assault in connection to the July 5 incident at Cub.

The criminal complaint against Vasquez accuses him of entering the grocery store, taking a hammer from an employee-only area then swinging the hammer at several shoppers. Rochester Police reported finding him being restrained by a shopper who he’s accused of head-butting when they arrived at the scene.
