Man Known to Cheyenne Store Owners as 'Wisdom' Arrested on Warrant

A 42-year-old Cheyenne man wanted by the Laramie County Sheriff's Office after allegedly threatening a gas station attendant is now behind bars.

According to the post, a deputy was called to the Safeway gas station, located at 810 S. Greeley Hwy. on June 20, 2024, after Hayden-Ali allegedly threatened an attendant, but he had left when the deputy arrived, so the deputy requested a warrant for his arrest.
