Woman Charged With Running Down Boys Who Hit SUV With Golf Ball

POSTED: 12:42 pm EST December 6, 2004
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A woman ran over two teenage brothers after they accidentally hit her sport utility vehicle with the golf ball they were bouncing in a parking lot, officials said, leaving one of the boys with life-threatening injuries.

Isiah Grayer, 14, and his 16-year-old twin stepbrothers, Justin and Jamel Marshman, were bouncing the golf ball in a shopping center parking lot Sunday afternoon when it went astray and struck a sport utility vehicle driven by Kathy Feaganes Allen, 47, St. Johns County sheriff's Deputy Greg Suchy said.

Suchy said no damage was done, and the boys apologized and began to walk away. Allen started to drive away, but suddenly made a U-turn, ran over a median and struck Grayer, causing severe injuries, and Justin Marshman before knocking over a light pole, Suchy said.

She then drove after Jamel Marshman, crossing two medians and striking a utility box before her SUV stopped in a ditch, Suchy said. The boy ran away and was not struck.

Witness Russell McPhee said Allen accelerated to hit the boys.

"She charged them," he said. "This was the most deliberate act."

McPhee said he yelled at Allen to stay where she was when she got out of her car.

"After she ran them down, she got out of the car and lit a cigarette like a movie star," he said. "She watched all three of (the boys) just lying there."

Allen then used Terry Gerspch's cell phone to call her husband. Gerspch said Allen seemed unfazed.

"She was as calm as anything," she said. "She said the boys were throwing rocks at her car."

McPhee said Jamel, the uninjured brother, ran over to Allen's car and confronted her.

"He didn't get physical with her," he said. "He just kept asking 'Why? Why did you do this?"'

A judge ordered Allen held without bail Monday on three counts of attempted murder. She is being represented by the St. Johns County Public Defender's Office, which did not immediately return a call Monday seeking comment.

Grayer was in critical condition Monday at Shands Hospital in Jacksonville. Justin Marshman was treated for non-life threatening injuries at Flagler Hospital.

This woman should be thrown in jail for as long as possible. She obviously does not know how to conduct basic human behavior.

a hole would be more appropriate, if you want my opinion. i'm in fucking disbelief.

To quote South Park "Stupid Spoiled Whore"

Oh, come on. Have a heart. This is obviously just a big misunderstanding.

I wonder what that phone call was like to her husband.

C'mon guys, we don't know the whole story. Maybe they also had too many items at the express lane and we just didn't hear about it.

Phone call:

"Honey? Um. Yeah, you see, I uh.. I was driving the SUV to the supermarket, see, and I went in and they didn't have the right size pie crust and I couldn't handle the thought of making one myself, that takes so much work and you KNOW how critical your mother is of my cooking and when she drives up from Florida for Christmas, everything has to be perfect otherwise I'm going to hear it from everyone on your side of the family and I'm REALLY not in the mood for that, so I come outside with my groceries and put them in the backseat and I got in and I saw that these little fuckers were bouncing a golf ball near my car and it almost hit the Suburban and I was NOT in the mood to deal with it so I had to discipline them, which I really shouldn't have had to do because that's their parents' jobs and I really.. what?.. Oh.. yeah. I uh.. I'm kind of in jail, be a doll and come down to help me out of this mess?"

I feel sorry for the poor guy. What would it be like to come home from work one day to find out that your wife is a psychotic who just ran over two kids? Nice soothing end to a stressful day at the workplace....

this is what happens when we spend too much time in our concrete jungle



we are all capable of doing just about anything


all it takes is pressure and time

You lifted that last line from Shawshank!

Lifted?

pshaw

let's just say I live in Maine and am a Red Sox fan.

One more proof that SUV drivers are the source of all evil

I wish I could hit her in the face with a golfball.

Better yet,.. let him do it.

No sun will shine in my day today
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
Darkness has covered my light
And has changed my day into night
Now where is this love to be found, won't someone tell me?
'Cause life, sweet life, must be somewhere to be found, yeah
Instead of a concrete jungle where the livin' is hardest
Concrete jungle, oh man, you've got to do your best, yeah.

My state fucked up AGAIN!

What an idiot. Jesus Christ. How fucked up to you have to be to think it right, no matter how angry you are, to run someone over with your stupud fucking monster truck?

I drive one (unfortunately) and I only THREATEN to run people down! Heh.

On a serious note, that is absolutely revolting and I hope she gets locked up for a hell of a long time. It's not even like the golf ball hitting the car was deliberate--not that running the kids down would be called for anyways--and they apologized! Good lord.

I just read about this as well...

... people really make me sick.

Her immediate punishment should be that a group of children run her over with her own SUV, repeatedly, until dead.

.Case Closed.

thank you, drive through.

It should be young children to, like not competent enough to fully hit her.

America, I think we found our President.
