Shawnee Police officers were called to the Pho Good Vietnamese Restaurant, 10703 Shawnee Mission Parkway, shortly before 1 a.m. Friday.

"Two adult male acquaintances were having an after work party when they got into a disagreement," Major Dan Tennis said. "The one male tried to get the other out of the business and the alleged suspect broke some things inside and threatened to shoot the victim."

Tennis says the suspect did not show a gun, but the victim believed he had one.

Court records show that the suspect lives at an address in Lenexa. According to radio traffic, Shawnee and Lenexa officers responded to that address around 1:30 a.m. The suspect's vehicle was found in the driveway, but no one came to the door to speak with the officers.

Lenexa officers took the suspect into custody in the driveway of his Lenexa home around 4:25 a.m., according to radio traffic.

Major Tennis confirms that the suspect was located at his home in Lenexa and taken to jail.

"He is expected to have court today and possibly be charged with aggravated assault and criminal damage to property," Tennis said. "The property damage was a glass case and an exit door at the business."

Early Friday afternoon, the Johnson County District Attorney's office has charged Roger Kim, 33, with one count of felony criminal damage to property. The damaged property is estimated to be worth more than $1000 and less than $25000. Damage over $1000 is a felony according to the Kansas statute.
