Ken Shamrock Facing Possible Lawsuit - BiggGameJames - 08-28-2012
UFC Hall of Famer and ex-WWE Superstar Ken Shamrock is facing a possible lawsuit stemming from the fight between two women that he helped break up earlier this month at a California shopping mall.
TMZ.com previously reported that Shamrock was jumped during the fight by someone he thought was a man. He took down the individual and applied some sort of hold, only to immediately stop after he was told the individual was a woman. It was also reported that an officer on the scene filed a battery report against Shamrock, but prosecutors strongly believed that he would not face any charges since it was clear that he thought he was acting in self defense after being jumped.
In an update, the woman in question, Melinda Garcia, has stated that she intends to file a lawsuit against Shamrock if the police fail to press charges against him themselves. TMZ's report of Garcia's account of the situation is below:
Shamrock claims he was breaking up a girl-on-girl brawl in a mall in Modesto, CA earlier this month when someone jumped on his back. Shamrock claims he believed the person was a man, so he took âhimâ down. Turns out ⦠âheâ was actually a âshe.â
But Garcia claims itâs all BS ⦠claiming Shamrock didnât actually break up the original fight, but rather screamed at her to do it ⦠which she did.
Garcia claims Shamrock began to yell at her for not stopping the fight sooner ⦠and then snapped and PUNCHED her in the face.
Garcia says her mom ran over to intervene ⦠and Shamrock punched her too.
Soon after the alleged girl-punching, security and police arrived to the scene ⦠and only then, Garcia says, Shamrock backed off.
