A UNA student was arrested Tuesday afternoon after allegedly striking an Off-Campus Bookstore employee in the face during a dispute about the value of a textbook, according to UNA Police.

UNA police Chief Bob Pastula said Eric Harris Fraser, 51, is charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct after becoming confrontational about the dollar amount offered to return his college textbook.

After being asked to leave by officials at Off-Campus Bookstore, Fraser struck the employee who was helping him on the left side of his face, said police. According to the police report, witnesses said Fraser jumped into his vehicle, squealed the tires and drove his car toward the victim after the altercation.

Pastula said Fraser turned himself in to UNA Police later that day and was transferred to the Lauderdale County Detention Center.
