Blood Tribe woman admits drugs behind series of downtown assaults
LETHBRIDGE – A 38-year-old Blood Tribe woman has admitted that she had been using drugs the day she assaulted two people and caused a significant disturbance at a downtown bank.
Stacy Leah Dawn White Man pleaded guilty to eight charges Thursday morning, Nov. 8, most of which were connected to a series of events just two weeks earlier.
That series began around 12:45 p.m. on Oct. 24, when White Man approached a woman who was walking downtown and said, “Give me your money if you know what’s good for you.” She then blocked the woman from getting to her car and shoved her into another vehicle, continuing to demand money, but fled when two other individuals intervened.
A short distance away and only a few minutes later, White Man encountered a 70-year-old man walking on the sidewalk and accused him of having her money. She then struck him in the face with her purse, for which the victim required stitches to his lip.
