SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -
A Missouri teenager is accused of stabbing a man with an ice pick in a
dispute over a parking spot.
Eighteen-year-old Caitlen Watkins of Springfield was charged Monday in
Greene County with first-degree assault and armed criminal action.
According to court documents, Watkins and a passenger in her car
confronted another driver Sunday in the parking lot of a shopping
center after he took a parking place Watkins wanted.
Witnesses told police a fight broke out and the other driver was
stabbed half a dozen times with a wooden-handled, 5-inch ice pick.
Police say the other driver suffered a punctured kidney.
A judge set Watkins' bond at $75,000. She did not have a lawyer. She
has not yet had a hearing or entered a plea.
It is good for her that he didn't have a gun
Yup.
Actually the death rate from knife wounds and handgun wounds is about the
same. 20-22%. This excludes minor cuts where the knife does not really
enter the body.
