A Rohnert Park man was arrested on suspicion of multiple charges including assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly threw a hatchet at someone, police said. Benjamin Boyer, 44, was arrested after police found him with a hatchet trying to get into a Commerce Boulevard business in which he had reportedly been threatening people with a knife moments before. The incident took place about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday. Though Boyer at first did not comply with their orders, Rohnert Park police officers eventually were able to arrest him without incident, the department said in a Facebook post.
