Exercising the Right
Female Intruder
WBIR.com reported on February 10 about a woman in Knoxville, Tennessee, whose death was ruled a justifiable homicide. The incident unfolded in the early hours of the morning when the woman tried forcing her way into an occupied house. A resident who was home at the time of the break-in fired at the woman, fatally injuring her. The Knoxville Police Department responded to a 911 call and discovered the woman lying outside the house. Emergency medical technicians arrived on the scene and took the injured suspect to the University of Tennessee Medical Center, but doctors pronounced her dead upon arrival. The deceased suspect was later identified by law enforcement as 38-year-old Stacie Mundy. The Knoxville Police Department later issued a press release that stated that the homeowner shot Mundy “in defense of his life.” The release stated that the homeowner would not face any charges in relation to the shooting.
A review of Mundy’s arrest records showed that she and four other people were charged with “possession of drug paraphernalia and manufacturing, delivery, sale and possession of Schedule I drugs” after being arrested with 18 grams of suspected methamphetamine, 4 grams of suspected heroin and 68 Xanax bars in their possession in December of 2016. Mundy was also arrested for “simple possession/casual exchange” and possession of drug paraphernalia earlier that same year. Her obituary stated that she was a registered nurse.
