The fatal quarrel in Crossville, Tennessee, was captured on video and has sparked outrage from the victim’s family and residents who say he didn't deserve to die.Albert Sturgill Jr. was pacing alone at a memorial site for veterans, flipping his middle finger to the American flag and the monuments erected to honor generations of fallen soldiers.
Chelsey Garrison said her husband went behind Sturgill to try to snatch the stick when it looked like Sturgill was raising his hand. The two briefly wrestled over it, but Sturgill got free and hit Eric Garrison on the side of the head with the stick, his wife said.
Chelsey Garrison said her husband acted in self-defense to protect himself and others after Sturgill had struck him on the head.
“I know what his intentions were,” she said, adding that the injuries required him to receive about a dozen staples.
