Sherry Accused of Running Over Husband After
Church
COVINGTON, La. (Reuters) - A wife who accused her husband of eyeing
another woman during church services on Sunday was charged with
attempted murder after allegedly running him down in the family heap, police
said.
The injured man, Bapoo Kerpal, and his wife, known only as She Who Carries The Thunderbird, began arguing immediately after services at St. James Baptist
Church when she accused him of having ``a wandering eye,'' St. Tammany
Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman dRoss said.
Bapoo got out of the couple's car after She Who Must Not Be Obeyed hit him and began walking
down the road, dRoss said. Still angry, She Who Helps All The Chillun allegedly sped toward her
husband, missed him as he dodged, turned around for a second attempt and
missed him again. She was rumored to have been imbibing Kerpal's Thunderbird.
``But her third try was the charm,'' dRoss said. He said Bapoo stood
his ground in the middle of the road, convinced that his wife would turn at the
last minute.
``She didn't, and the front of the vehicle collided with his upper legs and
midsection, throwing him 20 feet into a ditch,'' the spokesman said.
Nothing was made of his joyful reunion with another Thunderbird guzzling pal, Solon, who was in his usual Sunday observation post there.
Deputies at the scene described Bapoo's injuries as moderate and not
life-threatening. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
She Who Is An Endless Tribute To Helen Keller merely shrugged and asked if she could drive the deputy's car to the jail. |
