A gas station worker allegedly beat a customer with a baseball bat for taking too much nacho cheese.
Myron Bullie, 47, is accused of leaving a man bleeding from his head, ears and nose in a grassy area outside an Arco petrol station in Las Vegas.
Cops who responded to the 5700 block of Rainbow Boulevard around 4am on September 3 asked Bullie what had happened.
Bullie said the customer was ‘talking (expletive)’ and that he told him to leave the establishment.

The employee ‘then showed officers a cheese machine that (the victim) broke’ and said he was ‘upset that (the victim) was getting (too) much cheese from the nacho cheese machine’, states an arrest report obtained by WSAZ.
Bullie said he ordered the victim to get out of the store and not break things but that he ‘insisted’ on getting nachos.
The suspect then admitted to pushing the victim out of the store, using a baseball bat to hammer him, and saying: ‘Don’t talk (expletive) to me… Now everyone gonna see this and they’re gonna know never to talk (expletive) to me.’
CCTV footage captured the two fighting over the bat and Bullie punching the victim and then using the weapon to strike him.

As the victim retreated, Bullie allegedly used the bat to batter him three more times.
That was not the end of Bullie’s rage.
The victim made it to a business nearby and Bullie followed him and struck him with the bat so hard that he ‘falls to the floor and does not get up until several minutes later’, according to the arrest report.
Another customer pumping gas called 911 to report the victim covered with blood on the ground, according to KLAS.
The victim suffered two brain bleeds, several skull fractures and facial fractures and had blood in his ears and air in his brain, cops said.
Bullie attacked him with such force that he sustained a sprained wrist himself.
The Las Vegas resident has been charged with attempted murder and assault and was booked into the Clark County Detention Center with bail set at $10,000.
Bullie is scheduled to appear in court on September 23.
It happened two months after a Sonic restaurant drive-thru customer in San Antonio, Texas, allegedly shot dead a manager who refused to take counterfeit money for payment.
