Hi Laurie,
This guy sounds like a certified neandertal. You have witnesses, you
are fired, he broke the law. Contact the Tempe Police and report his
aggression and other illegal behaviors. Next I would be talking to a
competent attorney that specializes in sexual harassment and employment
law. Your exemployer could be in jail and you could own the joint.
Call me if you need a referral.
Take care,
Guy

PS with our hot economy you will be reemployed in a better position at
better pay in no time. Hang in there and REPORT the sob.
