Norman, OK - A man rolls his truck and when a female passerby tries to lend aid she is made a victim by the wrecked truck's ungrateful driver.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Cleveland County, Kevin Shane Mendell, 35, managed to roll his truck. By "roll' we mean lost control around Flood and Robinson causing his truck to travel end over end landing on its side.
Enter the passerby.
A woman driving in the area witnessed Mendell's excellent driving skills and approached the mangled truck to offer assistance.
The woman instructed Mendell (who was trying to exit a window currently smashed against the pavement) to exit through the opposite and less obstructed window.
This is the part where you'd expect any sane person to brush off any broken glass about their body and offer thanks to the woman for actually giving a damn.
But alas, Mendell allegedly proceeds to forego the pleasantries and instead insists that the good samaritan hand over her keys so that he can make a speedy getaway before police arrive.
When the victim refuses, Mendell reportedly began hitting and kicking the woman.
Obviously female good samaritans run in a pack because another woman in the area sees what's transpired and proceeds to pick up a stick and threaten Mendell with it.
Finally, wanting to save face for all the card carrying Y-chromosomes out there - three men arrived on scene and held onto Mendell until police arrived.
Mendell has been charged in Cleveland County with felony robbery in the 1st degree, DUI and driving while under suspension.
While Mendell was able to produce the $10,000 bond needed to secure his release, he has applied for "indigent defense" aka, your tax dollars to defend his ungrateful ass.
UPDATE: 4/4/07 - Mendell was sentenced to 5-years in prison for attempted auto theft, DUI and driving under suspension.

I wonder why they did not charge him with assaulting the woman?
