Police said Salensky continued to argue with the victims and then ran from the scene. State police said he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
Witnesses told police he appeared to be drunk, and troopers later said they found empty alcohol cans in the truck.
Troopers also said Salensky did not have a valid driver’s license because it was suspended from a previous DUI.
