CONWAY, Ark. (AP) - A Conway man is due in court on charges he used a gas pump squeegee to hit another man during a fight over who was first in line at a gas pump.

Twenty-1-year-old Hector Chavez is to be arraigned Friday in Faulkner County Circuit Court on a second-degree battery charge.

A Conway police report says the victim told officers that he was waiting in line at a gas pump when Chavez cut in front of him. The victim - who was not identified - said he confronted Chavez with the squeegee and swung at him before Chavez took the squeegee and began beating him with it.

A phone listing could not be found for Chavez and it wasn't clear whether he had an attorney.
