NAPLES, Fla. -- A blow to the head with a beer bottle may have saved
Sally Hampton's life.

While doctors were examining her after the barroom attack, they
discovered a brain tumor that could have killed her.

The tumor was removed, and Hampton, 64, is fully recovered.

On Monday, she testified against her attacker, Fidel Trujillo, who
was
convicted of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and sentenced to
12
1/2 years in prison.

"It was one of the worst things that could happen to an elderly
person,
but in the end it saved her life," prosecutor Erik Lombillo said.

Hampton was attacked July 4 at a bar in Immokalee, a farming town in
southwestern Florida. According to prosecutors, she put her hand on
Trujillo's shoulder to lead him out of the place when the bartender
wanted to close up. Trujillo bashed her with a bottle and kicked her
in
the head and body when she fell.

Hampton was taken to Lehigh Regional Medical Center with injuries
that
were not life-threatening. During a test, doctors found the tumor.

Whoa....that CAN'T happen in Collier County.....just ask NOYB...there
are no bars that serve beer, it's a common man's drink. Oh, and he's
elderly....imagine that....
