Judge rejects 'stand your ground' claim of former fed prosecutor Patrick Scruggs, who stabbed passed out driver

[Demovictory9]

Patrick Scruggs once worked as a Assistant U.S. Attorney. On September 26-th, 2023, he was driving on the Howard Frankland Bridge and saw a car stopped in the middle of the bridge in a traffic lane.

Another driver saw the same stopped vehicle and got out of his car to investigate.

That driver, Ahmad Gahaf said he went to the stopped car and saw a man passed out in the vehicle. Gahaf said he tried knocking on the window, but the driver did not wake up.

Patrick Scruggs came up to the scene, and the driver who was passed out, came to and attempted to leave, hitting Scrugg’s car.

The former prosecutor got out of his car and used the end of a knife to knock out the driver’s window. When he did, the startled driver attempted to leave again, but his car was wedged between Scrugg’s car and Gahaf’s car. Scruggs then used the knife to repeatedly stab the driver.
