A few months ago a 55 year old woman was about to go into the Virginia Lottery office to cash winning lottery tickets worth $10,000 when she was attacked.
The two men who attacked her are now behind bars. Blake Jordan and Kenneth Marshall, both 22, apparently attacked the woman with a hammer. They’ve been charged with maiming, attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
One of the men is apparently a nephew of the 55 year old woman. Isn’t that cold blooded?
Keary Fox, 56, a lottery worker, first hear the woman scream at 1:10 pm so he ran outside and saw Jordan on top of the woman. He put Jordan in a headlock while a customer took the hammer out of his hand. The pair held him until police arrived. Marshall was arrested later in the day.
The woman suffered lacerations to the back of the head. Lucky for her that lottery worker came by when he did or she might have had worse injuries or perhaps even have been murdered.
That’s terrible! I can’t believe some of the things people will do for money these days. At least she got help though — it could have been much worse!
that is cold blooded! There are a lot of bad dudes out there – hopefully the world will change for the better in the future instead of getting worse
“I can’t believe some of the things people will do for money these days.”
Sorry but I gotta nitpick. People didn’t start doing crazy things like that “these days”. Attacking for money goes back hundreds, even thousands of years. Family betrayal? Look no farther than the Roman Empire.
But yes, terrible event. Glad she’s not dead.
God that’s awful! Some people really are terrible. I can’t believe one of them was a relative of hers…unbelievable.
some people are just so desperate – it’s so sad what they will do when they have nothing to lose
Wow, its amazing how low some people will stoop for just a little bit of money. I know what nephew is never getting a Christmas present or a chunk of his Aunt’s will!
These are the stories that make the news. Think about it – what if that nephew had baked her a cake and took her out to dinner for her birthday – would we have heard about it? Of course not, because that is not what people want to read about. Well, some people anyway I guess.
I suppose if the news were only full of “good news” stories it would get rather boring.
Wow, I can’t believe that someone would actually do that. But that’s always a fear I’ve had with winning the lottery. First purchase: SECURITY DETAIL lol
