Edward Alexander Barfield, 35, of Sanford, FL, certainly enjoyed them as he hid in a porta-potty for hours last week waiting for the right moment to carjack a cute bartender (and possibly more) after a “neighborhood” bar closed. When Mr. Barfield emerged from the crapper, he attacked the woman and knocked her to the ground.
She resisted, and then her boyfriend appeared.
The boyfriend, like most decent good guys in Florida, had his gun on him. He arrived at closing time at the request of his girlfriend’s father to assist in ensuring her safe return home. Thank goodness the boyfriend didn’t arrive too late.
When he saw his girlfriend being viciously attacked, he jumped out and proceeded to end the attack and Mr. Barfield behind the bar in a matter of shots. Right next to the restroom. What a terrible way and place to go, right? It couldn’t have happened to a nicer criminal.
It could have been worse! He could have fallen into the blue water after getting shot before dying.
Sanford Police said detectives are still trying to identify a man who was shot and killed after they said he tried carjacking an employee behind a bar. The employee’s father described his daughter as a fighter who suffered lots of bruises during the attack but is doing alright. She even wanted to go back to work immediately, despite the attack…
According to police, based on surveillance video, a man jumped out of this portable toilet and tried to steal the employee’s vehicle, and that was when another man, described as the carjacking victim’s boyfriend, shot and killed the alleged carjacker.
The father of the victim said his daughter suffered mild injuries to her head after the suspect attacked her. He said she is a bartender at George’s Tavern and had just finished her shift. He asked her boyfriend to come by at the end of the night to make sure she got home safely. According to police, when the boyfriend saw what was happening, he removed his gun from his waist and shot the man.
“Thank God her boyfriend is a special ops guy and come out and saved her life,” Moon said.
“Thank God for her boyfriend, who came out and saved her life.” Indeed.
Bravo for toxic masculinity.
