    Man Slashes Friend in Throat During Fight for Shotgun Seat  Wednesday, September 17, 2008

    A 34-year-old Rodessa man is in custody accused of cutting his friend's throat with a box cutter.

    Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator says Richard Lee Brooks Junior,
    was booked Monday on charges of aggravated second-degree battery and
    possession of a concealed weapon by a convicted felon. Prator says
    Brooks also had two outstanding warrants.

    The sheriff's office says Deputy Chris Wray saw a Jeep run a traffic
    light and then pull into the North Caddo Medical Center in Vivian.

    James Douglas Lawrence, who had just turned 25 that day, got out of
    the passenger's side with a bloody shirt around his neck. Wray says
    Lawrence, Brooks and two women had just left a nearby business when the
    two men began arguing about who would ride in the front seat. During
    the argument, Lawrence's throat was cut.
