Atlanta Woman Demands Justice As She Was Beaten By ‘Friends’ Over Burger
The Atlanta woman is seeking justice after she was beaten by several “friends” over a burger
Myriah Pointer savagely learned who were really her friends.
The Atlanta woman is seeking justice after she was beaten by several “friends” over a burger.
Beating Caught On Video
The savage beating was caught on video. In the disgusting 2 1/2 minute cell phone video, Myriah Pointer, 23, is seen being painfully dragged by her hair, punched and stomped on by three screaming women.
The Sunday morning attack, which left her with two black eyes, a chipped tooth and a concussion, was because they accused her of sitting on someone’s burger during a drinking game, she told police.
“I was held down and stomped until I was unconscious. Once I gained consciousness they were still beating and stomping me,” she later posted on Facebook with pictures showing her horrific bruises.
Attackers Were “Friends” Myriah Pointer Said
Pointer identified two of her attackers to local news stations as her best friends and the third as one of their cousins.
Witnessing it all was one of their boyfriends, who filmed the attack, and one woman’s 3-year-old child, she said.
When the animals finally stopped their clawing she was able to walk away, but with her attackers trailing behind.
Myriah says she was held for three hours by them before she was able to call her aunt to come pick her up.
Asked by police why she didn’t immediately call 911, “Ms. Pointer stated that she did not feel safe calling from that location,” according to the police report.
In a Facebook post Myriah Pointer asked that her story be shared so justice can be served.
“I am BLESSED to be alive and I need justice to be served because I DID NOT deserve this,” she wrote while accusing Atlanta police of not “taking this as serious as it is.”
Police, reached by the Daily News Thursday night, said they’re investigating and that charges “will be forthcoming.”
Women Sentenced
A Fulton County judge sentenced Chazmyn Donald, 23, Armonni Cofer, 24, and Tekia Strickland, 25, Tuesday after they entered non-negotiated guilty pleas for Aggravated Assault, Aggravated Battery, False Imprisonment and other charges.
All three will serve five years probation, attend 100 hours of anger management counseling and pay $25,000 in restitution.
