Porsche driver who shot homeless man and left him to die was previously arrested on assault charges

Katie Quackenbush, the woman who allegedly shot a homeless man and left him to die after he asked her to move her Porsche, has a prior arrest record for alleged assault.

The Tennessean reports that Quackenbush, an aspiring singer who moved to Nashville after previously living in Amarillo, Texas, has twice been charged with assault on two separate women. The first assault charge has since been dropped, but the second one is still pending in Texas.

Quackenbush this week was arrested after she allegedly shot 54-year-old homeless man Gerald Melton after he asked Quackenbush to move her Porsche SUV because its exhaust fumes and loud music were impairing his ability to sleep.

1. I don't like that person. Not one bit.

I hope she gets enough time in prison to effectively reflect on her life.

[workinclasszero]

3. She is going to kill someone eventually it seems

I have not heard any reports on the condition of the man she shot, I hope he isn't her first kill.

6. He was not killed.

9. Thanks for the link

He's in critical condition, hope he pulls through.

The privilege of the rich in this country is sickening.

2. I know people are not at their best in mug shots.

But damn.

4. A real piece of work, that one.

I hope they throw the book at her. She sounds like a sociopathic spoiled brat with a rich lawyer daddy who's saved her bacon before, so now she figures she can get away with anything. Orange really ought to be the new black in her wardrobe.

5. Affluenza?

8. Daddy is Republican attorney and restaurant owner who ran for Texas State Senate

17. Sure does look like it huh?

[dembotoz]

7. hopefully she will be inspired in her quest to be a great singer songwriter by some time in the jail

[gratuitous]

15. Re-make of Folsom Prison Blues comes to mind

"I shot a man in Nashville, just to watch him die."

Daddy was offering some weak sauce defense of his little girl yesterday, saying that she only meant to scare to man and had closed her eyes while nailing him with both shots. Tip for her defense counsel: Don't call Dad to testify.

18. Another responsible gun owner

Close eyes and pull the trigger.

What could possibly go wrong?

10. I'm amazed and pleased that this story has come out

Too often the rush is to paint the young, white, attractive aggressor as the real victim, driven by cruel circumstance to unlawful actions.

Certainly they dig deep into the past of every black man killed by cops, in hopes of finding some incriminating photo or tweet or whatever.

I hope that the victim sues her into homelessness, and I hope that he lives in luxury for the rest of his days.

11. I can't believe we hear so little about her tattoos and single-parenthood status.

Not that it matters to me, but there is certainly a patterns when it comes to some perps.

[Orrex]

14. Right? They should check her FB history

She might have pictures showing her with an "angry" expression, indicating a long history of violent attitudes and problem behavior.

12. Always good to have a daddy as a lawyer.

[Vinca]

13. This lady needs to resume her singing career in the big house.

[Oneironaut]

16. She was also a talentless aspiring rapper. One of the lyrics is that she's "self-made."

I wish I was kidding.

There's nothing more"gangsta" than driving a Porsche and spending daddy's money. So ghetto!

[workinclasszero]

21. She's "self-made." LOL

Just like Herr Dump is "self-made" eh?

Its tough on the mean streets of Nashville with nothing but your lawyer daddy's $$$ and a Porsche SUV, no doubt.

Someone’s got it in for me cuz I planted a few small bullets in his gut.
Whoever it was, I need to add, it was just some warning shots but
they say I shot a man named Doug and left the scene and ran away.
He stopped the slugs and fell and now could die on any day.
It's not my fault he's unlucky ...
