“On a scale of 1 to 10, just trying to get dressed is almost unbearable,” Joseph Suggs said.
Suggs works as a security guard at the nightclub.
It was just after 2 a.m. Sunday when Suggs said, his night took a dangerous turn.
“We had a customer who had come in, and I guess he was leaving without paying his tab which was about $150-$200,” Suggs explained.
That’s when Johnson’s General Manager Lucian Teague got involved.
“I tapped on his window, and I told him ‘hey, you know, could you go ahead and settle up your debt?”‘ Teague explained. “‘If you could just park your vehicle and settle up, that’ll be that and you can leave.’”
The customer was then caught on camera hitting the gas and slamming into Suggs.
“He got a hold of my left leg, and I felt my left leg going up under the car,” Suggs explained. “I had was my right leg free, so I was able to jump up and get onto the hood.”
