Man trying to save spot for wife gets run over

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. – Authorities said a man intentionally ran over another man who was trying to save a parking spot at a gas station on Monday. The Lee County Sheriff's Office reported that the victim was standing in a spot to reserve it for his wife at the Murphy USA gas station.

The man saving the spot told deputies that he held up his hands when another man pulled up to the line, but the man drove forward and hit him in the knees.

When the victim yelled at the man to stop, authorities said the suspect pulled forward and hit the man again, causing bruising and swelling. Other witnesses backed up the victim's story.

The suspect was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery.

Well i won't say what i would have done if it were me that got hit, it would get me arrested.

The folks down here at the walmart gas station get crazy especially when theyre talking about raising the gas price....Its bumper to bumper and horns blowing....I always take a can of mace and a stick of some sort...Of course I join in when the yelling starts and add a few colorful comments.
