By Tom Jackman Tom Jackman Reporter covering criminal justice locally and nationally Email Bio Follow April 15 at 8:21 AM The incident was described by the local police as just another road rage case that ended in violence. On a highway outside Fort Knox in western Kentucky, two women reportedly became embroiled in an argument while driving and stopped at a gas station. Then one woman stabbed the other in the leg.
Waters said she reached for a ceremonial knife she’d received from her troops at her previous post as a drill sergeant at Fort Drum and used it in self-defense to stab the woman in the leg. She climbed out of her car and, a surveillance videotape shows, fended off repeated forays by the older woman with shoves and kicks. Then, to what Waters said was her great relief, the Elizabethtown police arrived.
Elizabethtown Police Chief Jamie Land said the case “has created quite the buzz, unfortunately. I understand her side of it. A lot of people are getting emotional about it.” The complainant in the case, a 58-year-old Elizabethtown woman, did not return a phone call seeking comment. She told Louisville’s WAVE 3-TV reporter Connie Leonard that she wanted to tell her side of the story, but that because she was a witness, her attorney had advised her to wait.
“I thought, ‘This woman is about to kill me,’ ” Waters said. “Now she’s right at my vehicle. I didn’t know what to do at that point.” She told the woman, “You know I’m on the phone with the police. That’s when she attacked me.”
Even black service men and women are not safe in trump's America...
Somebody yanks open my car door and starts beating on me, damn sure I will defend myself. But hey, it's Kentucky. Land of racists who blame their lot in life on black folks, instead of the white guy who's selling out our country to the Russians. Yea, their rep McConnell.
