ASHLAND, Ky. (WSAZ) - A gas station clerk says if not for the brave actions of a couple regular customers, she could’ve been badly hurt or worse.
Baljindei Kaur owns the store in the 2200 block of Winchester Avenue in Ashland. After her husband died last month, her niece Navpreet Kaur came from California to help out.
A little before 9 a.m. Thursday, Navpreet was behind the counter when she says a woman, later identified as 36-year-old Felicia Helton, came into the store and paid $2 for gas.
The clerk says Helton came back in soon afterward with a pop bottle containing gasoline. She says Helton came behind the counter, threw the gas on her, lit a lighter, and said she was going to set the clerk on fire.
“She said ‘I don’t like you, I just want to burn you up,’” Navpreet said.
Navpreet says then two female customers got involved. One hit Helton with an energy drink, and the other grabbed her by the hair. They held Helton down on the floor until police showed up and arrested her.
“Most people don’t do that kind of stuff,” the owner said. “If you see anything, they’re going to go away, but they were both very brave.”
The owner and clerk say they don’t remember seeing Helton before Thursday and have no idea why she did what she did.
The owner says she’s extremely grateful the customers intervened.
“That’s like God,” Baljindei said. “God came here for her help. For me it’s God. If they weren’t here, my niece wouldn’t have been safe.”
Navpreet says she was already planning to go back to California on Monday, but she wants to thank those two brave customers in person one more time before she goes back.

Ugh. Drug-crazed trash. I hope she gets the help she needs and is also locked up for a very long time.
After seeing her photo, I would be willing to go way out on a limb and opine that she has sampled some meth in her life. Along with a lot of Silver Satin.
If that’s her, she’s WAY BEYOND GUILTY!
I know what you mean.
Check post 11, that is what you get when your beer goggles fall off in the morning.
Set a clerk on fire and she's warm for the rest of her life.
From the pic, the perp was once someones beautiful young daughter. Now reduced to this. Sooo sad.

I just had to call the cops to pick up my 28-year-old "boy" for aggressive behavior and hallucinations.
All too real. 😭
Whoa! Baby really got them crazy eyes!
Life is sometimes so tough. But then the sun comes up.
