Jillian Michelle Phillips
According to the Walker County Sheriff’s Office:
Jillian Michelle Phillips of Cochran Drive was arrested on Feb. 16 for aggravated assault with a weapon.
According to the victim’s statement, Phillips was involved in a “very heated argument” with her cousin.
Phillips grabbed the woman by her neck, choking her, and then threw her to the floor.
Another person who witnessed the incident had to separate the two women from fighting.
Phillips went to a bedroom and retrieved an H&K Model 923 revolver and returned to the room, threatening to kill her cousin.
The witness forcefully took the gun away from her and called authorities.
Officers documented the minor cuts that the woman had received from Phillips, who was described as appearing “very intoxicated” at the time of arrest.
Oh, I just reread the story. The crazy drunk had a pistol and was probably ready to waste everyone there. And a witness with no weapon took the crazy lady's gun away before any shot could be fired. NOBODY DIED thanks to the sane witness, NO thanks to a crazy lady owning a gun.
I love stories like this.
I believe everyone along with this family should be very thankful that no one was hurt and the situation was snuffed out before, like another reader said, everyone was killed or mourning the tragedy all together.
I do too ! They show quite clearly that sober,responsible gun owners are no threat to society.They know that guns and alcohol don't make good play buddies.But people that get drunk as a lord can't appreciate the dangers of firearms. (And I'm almost sure that the cops that showed up to arrest her were sober and...Carried sidearms.
I'm glad we agree!
