Falling off the curb can be very painful.
A COMMUNITY SERVICE STORY
We need to hear more stories like this one.
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 in front of the store 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. Later the subject was also transported to the local hospital for injuries he sustained........when he slipped and fell off of the curb after stabbing the Marine. The subjects injuries included 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...After an extensive hospital stay, the subject is expected to near fully recover in four to six months.
Cpl. Duggan was treated for his injury and released the following day.
Semper Fi! We should all thank these Marines for their valuable community service act.
