On December 21, Caitlen Watkins, an 18-year-old Missouri
girl, with boyfriend in tow got upset over not getting the parking spot she
wanted at the Springfield shopping center. An argument ensued and, getting out
of her car just outside the Entertainment Store, found it expeditious to make
her pint by means of piercing her controversial interlocutor Lonnie Sowersby
once, twice, thrice, four, five and for a sixth time before onlookers yanked
her off her victim. She succeeded puncturing his kidney before she was
interrupted at which time she jumped back into her car and fled. Witnesses got
her license plate and she was promptly arrested.
The court process dragged on for over two years until
finally on March 6, 2012, she made a plea deal and pleaded guilty to a 2nd
Degree Assault charge. [Robert St. Estephe]
