A 29-year-old St. Cloud man has been charged with second degree assault, using a dangerous weapon.

Michael Adrian was arrested Tuesday after a neighbor said he was attacked by Adrian with a baseball bat.

An apartment caretaker called police around noon after receiving a call from a tenant saying he was hit with a baseball bat several times by Adrian. Police responded to a building in the 4100 block of 12th Street North, near St. Cloud VA Health Care System main campus.

Police found security footage of the assault and of Adrian carrying the bat back into his apartment.

The victim later told police he had an ongoing disagreement with Adrian and owed Adrian money he wasn't able to pay back.

The victim said he was walking into the apartment building when Adrian appeared from around the side of the building, and "began shaking a baseball bat in his face."

The victim claimed he was hit multiple times in the leg. Injuries were visible and photographed by law enforcement. He also claimed his cell phone, which was in his pocket, was broken.

Officers executed a search warrant, where they located the baseball bat Adrian is accused of using in the assault, as well as the clothing he was wearing at the time and in the surveillance video.

Adrian was arrested by St. Cloud Police. He was charged Wednesday with a felony, non-firearm assault in the second degree, using a dangerous weapon. He faces up to seven years in prison and a $14,000 fine.

The victim and caretaker were not named in the complaint.
