Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
On Sunday, June 16, 2013, 43-year-old
Jeffrey Johnson was enjoying an evening ride on his moped (and being free from having to carry a Man Card) along the beautiful South Carolina coastline. His travels were brought to a violent end, however, when a 35-year-old man named
Joel Parrish knocked him off of his vehicle and onto the street.
A
police report of the incident does not give any motive for why Joel was being such a colossal douche, but whatever his problem was with Jeffrey, it was bad enough that Joel began
punching and kicking him and soon as he hit the ground.
To add insult to injury (as well as increase the severity of said injuries), Jeffrey also had a prosthetic leg...which fell off when he was pushed from his moped. Not one to waste a free blunt object, Joel picked it up and began
striking Jeffrey with it repeatedly.
One can only imagine the horror that passing motorists much have experienced while witnessing a man get beaten with one of his own appendages (not to mention the fact that Jeffrey would not have been able to stand up and defend himself).
After the attack was over, Jeffrey was able to get himself to a hospital where he received stitches for a
laceration above his right eye. He also told the police what happened, which lead to Joel getting well-deserved visit from the Myrtle Beach police department.
At approximately 7:30 AM on Monday, June 17, Joel Parrish was
arrested and charged with 2nd degree assault and battery. He is
currently being held at the Myrtle Beach Jail while awaiting a bond hearing.
...where I'm sure tough guys like him earn lots of respect
for attacking disabled people with their own prosthetic limbs.
