Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Georgia, told police
he observed a male customer, 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.
And that's exactly how it was written in the Police report.
