A judge on Thursday found prosecutors have sufficient evidence for a grand jury to consider an indictment against a man accused of attacking former FOX10 News chief meteorologist John Edd Thompson at a gas station in Mobile.
Nilson Ridley Cain, 33, of Mobile, faces a charge of second-degree elderly abuse and neglect. He stands accused of assaulting Thompson at the Murphy USA gas station on University Boulevard at about 3 p.m. on July 25. Thompson and his wife had pulled in for gas after a lunch to celebrate his 81st birthday.
McMeans described the encounter between Cain and Thompson as violent, with the defendant throwing the retired meteorologist face first to the pavement. He said the video confirms Thompson’s account of the encounter, although he testified under cross-examination that the angle of the video did not allow him to see the punch to the face that Thompson said he received.
McMeans said Thompson suffered a sprained ankle, a bruised knee, a sore knee and bruises to his elbow and foot. He said Thompson also experienced a muscle strain to the side of his chest. Mobile County District Judge Zackery Moore left Cain’s $30,000 bail in place and added a condition of house arrest with electronic monitoring if he is able to bond out of jail.Copyright 2023 WALA.
