Victim of Oct. throat slashing arrested on drug charges
LAUREL HILL — A 24-year-old man who had his throat slashed in October was arrested on drug charges stemming from the day of the attack.
Gary Lamar Murphy was charged with felony drug possession after investigators discovered he was trying to sell drugs just before the attack occurred, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's report.
Murphy told investigators he was meeting David Joseph Hudson, Jr., 47, at a home near Railroad Street in Laurel Hill to sell Hudson narcotics.
He was sitting in his car when Hudson reached inside the driver’s side window and cut his throat with a pocket knife.
Murphy drove to the Tom Thumb store along State Road 85 to get help for the four-inch laceration. He was treated at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola and later released.
During an interview with investigators after his throat was cut, Murphy mentioned that he was trying to sell Hudson cocaine for $20. He said during the altercation the cocaine was dropped and was still in his car.
Deputies later found one rock of cocaine, which was .2 grams, and added the charge against Murphy, according to the report.
Murphy is scheduled to appear in court March 8.
Hudson turned himself in the day after the attack. He was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

There's no evidence that the victim was trying to buy crack. The perp could have easily dropped it in the car while attacking the victim, and decided to try and pin it on him later, after realizing he's up shit creek for felony assault. Get a lawyer.

^ The victim was selling the crack. The evidence was his own admission.

Hm.. wonder who gets the bigger sentence.. Drug seller or throat slasher. Its really disturbing that I have to wonder that..
Bad move admitting he was selling obviously, but I can't really blame someone for not being in their right mind after having their throat cut.

Dollars to donuts he was in a dangerous medical situation and the police were pressing him about his involvement in the drug transaction, apathetic of his wounds or need to have them treated.
I was literally tripping so hard that I'd just been encouraged from a roof into a wrestling contest (which I lost) with the police. When I got to the hospital they were asking all sorts of questions that I was *obviously* in no position to answer, and it wasn't like "who are you, what year is it" it was like questions about what I'd ingested that caused the set of events to happen and whether or not I'd smoked PCP-laced cannabis.
Police shouldn't be able to distress individuals who are mentally incompetent or physically injured to the degree that this man was (throat laceration sounds pretty serious).
