A legally blind man was charged yesterday with stomping his drinking partner to death because the victim kept falling into him as they walked to a room at a small hotel where they lived.
Willie Lincoln, 47, became angry at Thomas Albertson's alcohol-induced behavior Sunday night at the Pine Motel, punching Albertson and stomping on his head several times, according to the county prosecutor's office.
Albertson, 55, was found shortly after the attack and was pronounced dead at Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County at 10:02 p.m.
Lincoln was arrested yesterday morning and charged with murder. His bail was set at $500,000.
According to a Mansfield Township news release, Lincoln was also arrested at the motel on Nov. 20, 2008, on charges of assault, terroristic threats, theft and resisting arrest.
He was taken to the Burlington County Jail, in Mount Holly, on $50,000 bail after that incident. It's unclear when he was released.http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20090303_Blind_rage__Cops_say_man_killed_boozing_b uddy.html
