A parolee was behind bars Wednesday for allegedly causing mayhem at a Santee hair salon after he arrived late for appointment.
August Marriott, 27, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the incident at Great Clips at 9665 Mission Gorge Road, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
The man depicted in video footage from the salon became irate when he arrived at the shop shortly before 7 p.m. last Wednesday and a staffer pointed out that he was late for his appointment.
During the episode – which was captured on cell phones – the man identified as Marriott purportedly vandalized the business, threatened employees and threw shampoo bottles at them, leaving one person with minor injuries, sheriff’s Sgt. Stephen Chambers said.
The suspect left the salon prior to the arrival of deputies. Investigators subsequently identified Marriott as the alleged perpetrator of the violent outburst “thanks to many tips from the public,” the sergeant said.
He was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of assault, vandalism and violating terms of his parole. He was being held without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Thursday.
