The following is several years old, but it's still funny:
AUGUSTA , Ga. - A U.S. Marine reservist collecting toys for
children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter in eastern
Georgia .
Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta
Chronicle that man was seen on surveillance cameras Friday putting a laptop
under his jacket at the Augusta store.
When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an
employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the door. Outside were four Marines
collecting toys for the service branch's "Toys For Tots" program.
Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one
of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back. The cut did not appear to be
severe.
The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two
broken arms, a broken leg, possible broken ribs, assorted lacerations and multiple
bruises he obtained when he fell down trying to run, after stabbing the Marine.
The suspect, whose name was not released, was held until
police arrived. The Richmond County Sheriff's office said it is
investigating.
