L’Daijohnique Lee was charged with felony criminal mischief for smashing windows, prompting anger in Dallas after her alleged attacker received only misdemeanors.
By Alex Horton Alex Horton General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 3 at 2:03 PM On the night where a gun was pulled, punches were thrown and car windows smashed, transforming Dallas into the next flash-point of criminal justice and race relations, everything began with a traffic dispute.
The video roared across social media and prompted calls for arrests and charges. “All I could do was try to protect myself. He literally sat there and beat me like a man,” Lee told WFAA soon after the incident, which has prompted days of protest in Dallas. Shuffield has been only been referred for a felony assault charge to the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office to consider for a grand jury, police said. He has not been formally charged with any felonies.“We understand that some people are upset,” Dallas deputy police chief Thomas Castro said in a news conference Tuesday.
But following public outcry, an additional charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon was added on March 28. That is also a misdemeanor, Dallas police spokeswoman Sgt. Nicole Watson said. The recommendation for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon was made on the same day.
