Pepper Spray At Denny's Leads To Death Threats Against Deputies

NEWCASTLE (CBS13) — Deputies in Placer County arrested a man after a wild series of events last night.

They say 25-year-old Christopher Kalian of Auburn pepper sprayed a female acquaintance at a Denny's restaurant in Newcastle. When officers arrived, Kalian was gone. When they found him a short time later at a nearby gas station, he allegedly swung a golf club at them. Police were able to use a taser and K-9 to subdue him.

Kalian also reportedly made several threats against the deputies, saying he was going to shoot them when he gets out of custody.

He's being charged with two felonies, one for the assault at Denny's and one for resisting arrest.
