Police say an ongoing dispute between two men may have been a motivating factor in an assault and robbery that took place Saturday. 23-year old Michael Viner said he was standing near his car in the parking lot of the Silver Sands Motel when he was approached by a man who struck him several times in the face and head, and demanded that Viner give him some personal items. The man fled on a motorcycle, but police say the located and apprehended 40-year old Chad Matthew Enos a short time later at a residence on Siano Loop. The property was not recovered, but the investigation is continuing.
