FARMINGTON – A former mall employee in northwestern New Mexico is facing charges after authorities say he knocked out his former boss and broke his nose.
Court documents show that Justin Nachreiner is scheduled Wednesday to appear before a magistrate judge in Farmington on aggravated battery.
According to an arrest warrant, the 24-year-old Nachreiner attacked Journey shoe store manager Cameron Tadeo last month after he fired Nachreiner. Employees say Tadeo had sent a group message to employees to pick up their checks.
Witnesses say Nachreiner was angry when he arrived and left after employees heard a loud noise. Employees say they found Tadeo unconscious and bleeding from his nose.
Tadeo was later found to have suffered from a concussion and a nose fracture.
Nachreiner is being held without bond at the San Juan County Adult Detention Center
Shane Goranson, Nachreiner’s attorney, did not immediately respond to a phone message.
