Thief slipped and fell.....

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.

I guess someone was dreaming of how things should be..... not how the guy got a settlement from the guy he stab because it was that guys fault for being in the way of the knife not the guy welding it.

Didnt know it had been posted before.... but even so... it sure is a good feeling read.

The perp's name is actually Tracey Attaway of Waynesboro, GA, not "Tyrone Jackson of Augusta".

According to Snopes.com, the story is a mixture of true and false.
