Shoplifter Arrested in Georgia
                          Augusta, GA
           
     Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta ,Georgia,told police he observed a male customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveillance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket... When confronted the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife and ran for the door. Outside on the sidewalk were four Marines collecting toys for the "Toys for Tots" program. Smith said the
Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of the Marines, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back; the injury did not appear to be severe. After Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene Cpl. Duggan was transported for treatment.
     The subject was also transported to the local hospital with
two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw... injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off of the curb after stabbing the Marine.

      Now that was a well written Police report. 

[TAB]

I'm sure he "sliped"  and "fell" several times

 


either the guy writing the report was not very smart or marines are getting soft... there should be no "possible broken ribs"  it should be several broken ribs

I think we've seen versions of this story before. Still, it would be a great teaching aide to my Con Law class. "Now kids, here's how you add an assault with a deadly weapon and felony battery/attempted murder charges to what would have been a simple shoplifting offence. Oh, and for extra credit, you get to make it a federal case so you can be charged and sentenced twice without double jeopardy applying since you assaulted a federal employee".
