Caitlen Watkins Knows How To Get A Parking Spot

December 22, 2009 by Dakota Valkyrie  

Springfield, MO - Parking is such a pain this time of year. People like 18-year-old Caitlen Watkins make parking a much bigger pain. On Sunday, baby-faced Caitlen and a friend were waiting for a spot when some dude slipped into it ahead of them. As Lonnie Sowersby parked his car and walked toward the store, Caitlen and the driver of the car she was in, Dustin Venengers, began yelling, cussing, and extending other holiday greetings. Sweet little Caitlen even whipped out the universal “Fuck Off” hand signal. Sowersby must have misread the signal and walked over. Venengers reached out and grabbed Sowersby’s sleeve and they began to wrestle about. Choice words were probably exchanged. Caitlen then got out, walked behind Sowersby and began stabbing him with a 4 1/2-inch ice pick that she just happened to have handy. This prompted Sowersby to turn around and pop his fist into Watkins’ face, knocking her down. As Sowersby and Venengers continued to struggle, Watkins got up and stabbed him several more times for good measure. There were witnesses but I figure they were just waiting to see who won in case the parking spot got available.

Somehow it all came to an end – probably when Sowersby keeled over – and the couple fled in their car. A short time later they were found based on a descriptions and license plate number provided by the helpful witnesses. Caitlen Watkins confessed to stabbing Sowersby and has been charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. Sowersby was treated for six stab wounds in the back and sides and a punctured kidney. After thinking about it, I am probably going to wear a kevlar vest the next time I go shopping. No way is someone going to ice pick me after I get that primo parking spot.
