WINONA, Minn. – Police arrested a Winona man on a complaint that he pulled a gun on a woman in a car outside a Far West End convenience store. The woman told police that the man, whom she knew, aimed the gun at her after she got in a car and through the window said something about karma, then: “I’m going to make your life a living hell.” He walked off, the woman said. This was about 11:20 p.m. on December 22 at the Kwik Trip at 872 West Broadway. Shaken but unhurt, the woman called police. They couldn’t find the man, but they had a name: Roy Charles Glissendorf, 34. Fast forward 10 days: On Monday about 10:35 a.m. at the Fleet Farm retail store in Winona, a security detail followed a man to the parking lot for a $55 box of BBs for an air gun under his coat. He hadn’t paid. The man gave up the BB supply and drove off. The store detectives called police, as is routine with shoplifting. They had a name: Roy Glissendorf. Police stopped Glissendorf a couple blocks away on Mankato Avenue. Forget any shoplifting misdemeanor. He was booked for second-degree assault and a terroristic threat.
Glissendorf. In and out of jail over the years: Multiple assaults, burglary, drunken driving, drug paraphernalia, shoplifting.
