former U.S. prosecutor from Tampa who helped the federal government indict Florida residents accused of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol is about to stand trial himself.
According to court records, Patrick Douglas Scruggs is expected at the Pinellas County Justice Center on May 3 at 8:30 a.m. for a pre-trial hearing on allegations that he stabbed a 35-year-old man with a pocket knife during a road rage incident last year.
Mr. Scruggs, 38, who has been released on bond, was arrested last September and faces three felony counts of armed burglary, aggravated battery and aggravated assault....
Other report says the good Samaritans had stopped to check on a driver who was slumped in a car on the bridge. When he was startled awake, he apparently hit the gas and rear ended the couple’s vehicle. Then he put his car in reverse as Scruggs was driving by and hit Scrugg’s car and stopped.
Scruggs then got out and broke out the giy’s window, and started stabbing the driver....
“..felony counts of armed burglary, aggravated battery and aggravated assault..”
Gee, back in the NORMAL world, if someone stabbed another in a fit of rage with a knife, it would be called attempted murder… how times have changed..
