Parking lot fight handicapped spot sends elderly woman to the hospital.
Video surveillance shows the driver of a sport utility vehicle pull into a handicapped parking spot in a Walmart parking lot on Feb. 3.
[fwdevp preset_id=”8″ video_path=”2vEhs9bMVI8″]The driver cut off 32-year-old Kezia Perkins, who got out and demanded the 71-year-old woman move her vehicle.
Police said the older woman did not realize that Perkins was waiting to park there and was confused why Perkins was confronting her.
Video showed Perkins threw her body at the woman, knocking her down and seriously injuring her.
“I found a lady laying in a slushy puddle of snow and ice,” Officer Jeff Romuald said.
Romuald said the woman suffered a broken hip and femur after the woman “bounced off her (Perkins’) large chest.”
However, police discovered that Perkins would not have been entitled to the parking spot at all. She does not have a valid driver’s license and did not have a valid handicapped parking placard with her.
She has been charged with felony aggravated battery and could face six years in prison if convicted.

No respect these days. The level of violence in this country is sickening, and it will only get worse.
No current driver’s license and someone else’s handicapped tag, plus assault? Yeah, six years in prison sounds about right.
Six years in prison isn’the much of a sentence for causing fractures in the femur of an elderly person. The complications can be fatal. I hope the assailant is actually sentenced to the max and serves minute of it.
