Marine stabbed trying to stop shoplifter.
Marine Stabbed by Suspected Shoplifter
November 27, 2010
Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. - A United States Marine reservist collecting toys for children
was stabbed as he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in eastern Georgia.
Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta Chronicle that the man
was seen on surveillance cameras Friday, putting a laptop under his jacket
at the Augusta store. When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an
employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the door.
Outside were four Marines collecting toys for the service branch's, "Toys
for Tots" program. Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed
one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back. The cut did not appear to be
severe.
The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a
broken leg, possible broken ribs, and various lacerations and bruises he
obtained when he fell trying to run through the parking lot after stabbing the Marine.
The suspect, whose name was not released, was held until police arrived. The
Richmond County Sheriff's office said it investigated the incident, and the
investigators found out it happened just liked the Marines said.
Must have been a nasty fall!
Semper Fi!
