Major Lee Barnes
Major Lee Barnes, of the 1200 block of North 19th Street in Fort Pierce, faces sexual battery, robbery with a firearm and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon charges after the May 14 incident that happened about 12:02 a.m.
A Fort Pierce police officer went to the area of North 10th Street at Avenue H following a complaint of a man shooting a handgun in the air and was flagged down by the reported sexual attack victim.
She said she was walking in the area of North 10th Street at Orange Avenue when a man on a bicycle approached. The man offered her money for sex, an offer she declined.
He pointed a handgun at her and told her to take off her pants. She said the man searched her private area for money and stole her cellular phone. The man told her to get on her knees and perform a sex act on him. She was intimidated by the armed man and did so.
During the sex act, she saw the handgun, which the man put in his pocket “as he put his arms back in an apparent relaxed gesture,” the affidavit states.
She grabbed the weapon and pointed it at him. The man charged toward her, and she fired before the man fled the area.
The victim said she wasn’t sure whether the man was hit, but said he “leaned over his leg as if she hit him.”
Friends of Barnes’ apparently took him to the emergency room with a gunshot wound to the right leg.
Barnes told investigators he was walking in the area of North 17th Street and heard three shots and ran. Barnes said he felt he got hit in his right leg. He later said he was lying and that he found a gun. He said he heard a male say his name and heard shots fired at him. He said he threw the gun.
Barnes was held Tuesday morning in the St. Lucie County jail in lieu of $1,050,000 bail, a jail official said.

I’m sure if you look into this further you will find out that the “perp” has been held down by society, it has to be someone else’s fault, he looks too much like a hard working young man who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. You’ll see, it’s “whitey’s” fault.
With any luck, right about now he is getting done to him what he tried to do to the victim. I bet he’s a swallower!!
Eat shiz and die you cockroach!!

Gotta love this article!! All I can say is “you go girl” Love when this happens. I couldn’t care less what color the people are that are committing crimes…I just love it that she got a shot off and hit the bastard!! Beautiful…too bad it wasn’t a fatal wound. And no, I have no sympathy for criminals.

I love it when the victim can get justiec without the courts. Now she will get it twice! To bad her aim was off and didn’t shoot a bit higher to make sure he can never ever “perform” again. She got the leg, should have been the groin. I am not caring to play the race card as I beleive there is good and bad in all races. John Goodman is white. Ted Bundy is white. John Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, all were white. Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson, all are white.

Another tragic example illustrating the lack of proper marksmanship training in today’s public school system.
High five to the young lady for a good try though.

Sue,
Thank you for your intelligent and factual comments and observations. However there will always be those miserable creatures who for whatever reason seize the opportunity to spew their hateful and ignorant diatribes. They fail to recognize that their castigation of the criminal’s race does nothing to improve relations or the situation. Furthermore I would be willing to hedge that the people who eruct such detritus hide behind their post because like the perpetrator in the article may just be criminals themselves.
