Fayetteville, N.C. — Police charged the husband of the victim of an attempted stabbing after he hit the suspect with his car.
A female customer was smoking a cigarette outside Primo's Pizza on Yadkin Road around 10 p.m. Police said Aaron McLeod attempted to rob and stab her, but she managed to break free and run inside the restaurant.
McLeod ran away from the scene down Horseshoe Road, and the victim's husband, Stanton Moretti Jr., got in his car to pursue him.
Moretti then struck McLeod with his car, police said.
McLeod was transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he underwent surgery. He was listed in critical condition early Saturday.
Moretti faces one charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
...
No word was immediately available on whether McLeod will be charged.

Run the A-hole down and kill him...them’s my sentiments!
Justifiable homicide.
The world turned upside down. Unreal.
I dont think there is a problem here...
He was intending to stab his wife. If found guilty I would sentence him to time served.
That was funny...
Honestly, the SOB with the knife deserved to be hit by the car. The big problem with this country today is that the namby-pamby liberal do-gooders think that idiot perps like this knife-wielding chump deserve to walk away unscathed from their crime while the innocent victim has to stand by and take it.
I'd love to be on the jury at Mr. Moretti's trial. It'd be either "not guilty" or a hung jury as I would not vote to convict him.
UNreal...the libs are winning, still.
This kind of illogical trash just sickens me.
If I was on that jury, that would make two of us.
What we really need is a legal doctrine stating that you lose your right to prosecute your victim while in the commission of a felonious act. That would clear up a lot of this crap real fast.
The problem here is that it was 10pm and midnight basketball hadn’t started yet. If the woman had waited until midnight to get her pizza, this never would’ve happened.
She needs to charged for aiding and abetting an attempted stabbing and robbery.
Its just not safe to be a predator these days. Some people aren’t into being victims. If he can be charged for stopping a criminal, then he should be able to sue the police for failure to prevent the attack.
They should give him a medal for identifying the perpetrator and extra points for trying to use tire tread. The only thing wrong with using a car is that they are a little difficult to reload in tight places.
Any good defense attorney will turn this into McLeod being charged with jaywalking.
I suppose this means that we have now become the (United Socialist States of America (USSA).
We have reached a point where there is no justice in our laws. The knife wielder should have been killed like he deserved. Instead the good guys are punished.
In a courtroom, simply turn to the jury and say, "I couldn't stand here as a man and let him get away when I had the chance to catch him. The chance to stop him from doing this from someone else's wife. I am sorry he got hurt but when you do bad things to others sometime bad things can happen to you. Am I a criminal or is he. That is your decision."
I’ll be surprised if the perp doesn’t get off. His defense is simply the fear of second-hand smoke from her cigarette. In today’s nanny state that is justifiable homicide.
Well said, my fellow freeper!
It is north carolina.They have to be sensitive to the needs of the perps./s
The guy may have had others
robberies to commit that night. The woman’s husband knocked him off schedule. how awful!
This is not Andy Griffith’s North Carolina. I wonder how many of the cops, prosecutors, judges, jury pool, etc. are originally from NC, and how many are transplants from New Jersey and Guatamala.
Meanwhile our tax dollars are working to save this scum bag in the hospital.
