Frustrations were high on Tuesday as people rushed to gas stations to top off their tanks amid fears of a fuel shortage caused by the shutdown of a major pipeline.
One man caught an intense altercation on camera at a Marathon gas station in Knightdale.
Police charged Alexus Orianna Harris, 25, with simple assault and Matthew James-stark Artero, 47, with simple assault and damage to property.
A man who wanted to be identified only as Rashaad said he was in line for gas when he saw a fight break out between a man and woman at one of the pumps.
He said he was waiting to get gas at the Marathon station around 2 p.m. when a woman in a white sedan tried to join the long line.
Rashaad said the woman ran her car into a gray Honda at one of the pumps.
The man and woman argued over spots in the line and each spat in the other’s face before the fight turned physical and a cellphone was damaged, police said.
The video shows two cars bumped up against each other at a gas station. The video shows a woman apparently spit at a man in a car and he gets out to apparently spit on her. The woman in the video hits the man and they struggle for a few seconds before separating. Video below:
Two people are charged with assault after a fight in a line at a North Carolina gas station as a fuel pipeline shutdown sparks panic-buying, authorities said.
Knightdale police officers were called to a Marathon gas station in the town on Tuesday afternoon for a report of a crash and a disturbance related to two people fighting over spots in the line, according to a statement from the town.
The woman was charged with simple assault and the man was charged with assault on a female and damage to personal property, police said. Both were cited and released with a pending court date.
I filled up all three cars/trucks plus another 10 gals for OPE. Doing my best to spark panic buying here in the midwest.
Brown colored women can be set off if you get in the way of what they want...especially if you’re a man.
: )
Perhaps our culture is a bit less civil than during the oil embargo.
Used to be, you wouldn’t see a woman start a fight with a man.
Well, given the charges, with the guy over charged, would seem they have the law on their side to do it.
Looked like the guy was warning off somebody who wanted to get in.
Probably a knight in shining armor come to rescue a dragon.
Doordashers and other gig economy delivery workers set to quit en-masse.
At $2.00/gal, it was profitable.
At $2.50/gal, you break even
At $3.00/plus a gallon, you are losing money, unless you Dash in a Smart Car, an electric car or a bicycle.
Watch for the delivery services to at a $3 to $5 surcharge on every order to try to retain drivers.
The airline fuel surcharge is coming back. Killing any resurgence of air travel
Watch for delivery surcharges from Amazon and others to pay for increased fuel costs.
All gas lines gonna be like this and worse!
Combined PING! and DANG!
And it looked like he was holding back, because if he wanted to knock her onto her very padded backside, he could have.
She’s not a female? She’s a birthing person!
And she’s wearing a mask.
I paid $3.20/gallon in Lynchburg, Virginia today at the only place in 3 miles with gas.
They were out of regular, running out of plus. Still had plenty of Hi-test...for now.
Trump turned over an economy with no inflation, a market that exceeded the V shape recovery he promised, a country in no wars and Israel at peace, a vaccine to defeat covid, low energy prices with plentiful supply, a border with no one coming over. It only took Biden and a Dem Congress 3 months to usher in an inflationary spiral by layering on debt, create a border crisis, destabilize Israel, create an energy crisis by shutting down pipelines and send energy prices skyrocketing, and close down job growth by paying people not to work. We’re in for a long 4 years
