So how did this happen? And what is the alleged victim saying?
The Newport News City Jail did what the court ordered, and the Newport News court made a ruling based on a decision made in Nevada not to extradite Jose Soriano.
That mistake not to extradite was made in Nevada, not here, and the victim is frustrated by that.
“Why didn’t anyone call me and let me know? Why was I not notified? I am a single mother,” said Sarah Goolsby.
On June 9, after a minor fender bender in Nevada, and about to exchange information, Jose Soriano allegedly hit Goolsby in the face with his closed fist.
“He grabs my phone, and he just starts punching me into the back of my vehicle,” she said.
Then she got up and went back to the car, where she was punched again.
