hospital

other

>
> Lee Damron, 48, was arrested for aggravated assault on March 13 for his
bizarre
> and menacing behavior, authorities said.
>
> Eyewitnesses in the crowded parking lot of Oak Hill Hospital told police
that
> at about 3 p.m., Damron pulled near a disabled parking space, which was
> partially blocked by another car. Richard Cavalier, 59, the driver of the
other
> car, had an appointment and had partly pulled into the space so that he
and his
> wife could get his wheelchair out. Cavalier indicated to Damron that he
planned
> to park in the spot, but Damron kept honking and eventually took the spot
> anyway.
>
> Profanities were exchanged, followed by Damron stepping out of the car,
holding
> onto a black cane with a golden snake head. Bystanders looked on with
amazement
> as Damron then unsheathed a sword from the cane and proceeded to approach
> Cavalier. Cavalier immediately pulled out a 9mm handgun from the car and
raised
> it slowly. Damron turned and ran through the hospital's sliding doors.
>
> Police were called, and Damron was arrested minutes later. Cavalier was
not
> charged because he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, authorities
said.
> No court dates have been set yet, according to a Hernando County court
clerk.
