HUTCHINSON – A Kansas man arrested early Saturday after he allegedly caused damage at the Wendy’s Restaurant, 700 North Main in Hutchinson, made a first court appearance on Monday.

Employees at the fast-food restaurant allege that Javier E. Garcia, 20, Hutchinson, damaged the back door, a glass window and forced entry into the business while holding a tire iron.

He was upset with one of the employees of the restaurant who may have been involved with his girlfriend, according to statements made in court.

When police arrived, they found an employee holding Garcia down on the floor.

Garcia was arrested for aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, criminal restraint, felony criminal damage and criminal trespass.

He’s being held on a $31,500 bond and in court asked for a bond reduction admitting that what he did was wrong.

He even apologized to the employees of Wendy’s.

Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen also noted that he was apparently driving a high rate of speed in a separate incident, so she denied the request.
He is due be back in court next week.
