FANNIN COUNTY, Tex. -- One man is in prison after allegedly stabbing the driver he hitched a ride with over the weekend. The victim is recovering, but it's the details of the case that officials say make it unlike any they've ever seen.

Fannin County Sheriff’s Deputies received the original call at 2:40 on Saturday afternoon about a suspect involved in a stabbing located at the intersection of County Road 3830 and Highway 11. When deputies arrived on the scene they found that the case they were working on involved a lot more than they had planned.

Fannin County sheriff Kenneth Moore says he was shocked when he heard what happened this past Saturday just west of Wolfe City.

When deputies arrived on the scene they found James Wayne Evans, 43, a hitchhiker who confessed to stabbing the person who gave him a ride and apparently expected something in return.

"Whenever the individual that picked up the hitchhiker wanted more intimacy and that was about to happen, he determined at that point the intimacy would stop," said Fannin County Sheriff Kenneth Moore.

Officials say Evans was hitch hiking down Interstate 30 in Arlington when a white female known only as ‘Angie’ picked him up.

Soon thereafter, the 42-year-old driver invited Evans back to her horse barn just outside of Wolfe City.

When they arrived, the two became intimate, and officials say ‘Angie’ asked Evans to perform oral sex on her.

That’s when they say Evans got quite a surprise.

"(When he did) comply with the female subject, he found out it was in fact not a female, but a male," Sheriff Moore said.

Officials say Evans pulled out a knife and stabbed ‘Angie’-- who is a man-- multiple times.

‘Angie’ was flown to Parkland Hospital where he was treated and released.

Authorities warn regardless of the situation that picking up hitch hikers is never a good idea.

"You don’t know that individual walking down the highway. Why in the world would you stop and pick up someone you don’t know because in today’s environment that’s just not a safe thing to do," Moore said.

Evans was taken into custody and taken to the Fannin County Jail where bond has been set at $50,000.

Why would anyone want to pick up someone off of the side of the road in the first place.

One thing for sure about REAL MANLY MAN MIKE and REAL WOMANLY WOMAN DAWN, they do have definite opinions about things. Just wonder if they are related and what kind of relations they might have.

People who misrepresent their very own sexual identity purely for the selfish purpose of deceiving someone for gratification - deserve some sort of punishment. Maybe not stabbed but 'something'. To ALL gays out there- heterosexuals want NOTHING to do with you sexually no matter what you might ~think~. We are attracted to the opposite gender for the natural reason that 'gender' exists. We feel sorry that you'll never understand what that kind of attraction is like for us or why that attraction makes the idea of same sex acts so repulsive to us.

The buzz around Bailey is that Dawn, in her various personalities, has been selected to replace Chief Inspector Clouseau as Lead Investigator for the Fannin County Barney Fife Brigade. Oh Happy Day! Word is they might even give her TWO bullets for her gun. Maybe she will shoot the sheriff in the foot that he keeps sticking in his mouth. Well, with Ramadan, Kwanzaa, Yule, Noel, Festival of Lights and other frivolous religious events celebrated during the month of December (especially the one on the 25th) now behind us, perhaps the intrepid lawmen will return to doggedly fighting crime and saving lives. With Dawn in her new and exalted position, and the real Barney Fife residing in Bailey, we can expect wonderful things in Fannin County during 2008. Sleep well tonight, dear friend, secure in the knowledge that the pistol under your pillow, the shotgun beside your bed and double locks on the doors are your best protection. HAPPY NEW YEAR, Y'ALL.

My politically incorrect, but witty, response to Bill's tongue-in-cheek comments did not pass the censor's blue pencil muster. There really is a scrooge or grinch or whatever who has absolutely no sense of humor. Oh well, Meli Kalikimaka anyhow. I got the point, Bill, but didn't get the little green men back to galaxy XII.

If you know how to find this story now,Cooter from Wolf City,you should know Dawn couldnt write something that good pleae dont confuse me with her(no offence Dawn)well maybe a little,at least you got the point Cooter.good job.
Posted by: Code Red Location: Bailey on Dec 14, 2007 at 07:14 AM
Answer to Speaker's question is NO. Surely am missing Dawn's cracks. I sort of agree with Lucky Pierre, ugly fat women with no teeth and smelling of cigarette smoke, alcohol, cheap perfume and sweat are sexy.

Bill is finally on to the crux of this story: a delusional knife wielding sociopath who "freaked out" and seriously injured somone in a nonexistant barn. There was NO barn at the attack site, only a brown and yellow horse trailer, since removed. Since Dewayne saw a barn, whatever color, that didn't exist, is it possible that he saw or felt a male member that did not exist - a barn would surely have been the larger of the two, would it not? Was Dewayne responding to voices and voicemail messages in his head, voices that he couldn't reach and stab to silence with a Q-tip? Bill is so right, the story is about the barn, the barn that existed only in Dewayne's alledged mind. Why does Bill's writing look so much like Dawn's? So many mysteries, so few answers. Excuse me while I put these little green men back in their spacecraft and send them back to galaxy XII.
Posted by: Bill Location: Southmayd on Dec 10, 2007 at 11:43 PM
Dewayne should never have gone to that red barn with a....you know......a transgendered female male.and why was that red barn where it was, and WHY was it red? has it ever been yellow?Who put it there?Dewayne should have known from that secret phone call that the barn was going to be the place and it was RED.Also he should know that you dont go down by the river and live in a BLUE van.That is all there is to this story,it's all about the barn people.the barn.
Posted by: Goober Location: Gober on Dec 10, 2007 at 04:19 PM
May I suggest that the person who is being forced to read the comments file a complaint with Fannin County Sheriff's Office. This has to be the crime of the year and would surely get top priority for investigation. Heck, it might even get aired of TV.

Well, Jee Wheez, darlin', it's just so sad that someone forces you to read this stuff. I mean, look to the right and pick a more exciting subject like "Picking the perfect tree" or "New Tom Bean Toy". If those don't give you warm fuzzies, nothing will. Danged my hide if this blurb doesn't look a lot like what Dawn usually writes. Happy Holidays.

THIS IS OLD NEWS JEE WHEEZ CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT IS THERE SOME ONE MISSING OR HAS THERE BEEN A ROBBERY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LATELY ARE THERE ARE MISLEADING THINGS GOING ON ANYWHERE IN THIS AREA THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT INSTEAD OF THE HE/SHE WANTING SEX AND THE HITCHIKER IN JAIL WHO CARES HE IS IN JAIL AND HE/SHE NEEDS TO NOT PICK UP HITCHIKERS AND TRY AND HAVE SEX WITH THEM.
Posted by: speaker Location: Lake Texoma on Dec 10, 2007 at 04:06 AM
Angie knew the hitcher was a male that was obvious. For Angie to pose as a female and try to ingage in sexual activity with the same gender sex without the person knowing is a crime itself is it not?
Posted by: Code Red Location: Bailey on Dec 9, 2007 at 07:30 AM
I ran into Jack Crap yesterday and asked him why Dawn, in her many personas, is giving us the silent treatment. He said that she, being a REAL woman, was using REAL woman tactics ("well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you") to express her displeasure at something I said. Please tell me what it was that I said and if it works on other REAL women I will patent and sell it to browbeaten males everywhere. Set 'em up, Joe, and make mine a double (big orange, that is).

Sadly, the HEAVYWEIGHTS have gone back to being REAL women living REAL lives in REAL intellectual splendor and left us LIGHTWEIGHT miscreants to wallow in our blissful ignorance. Tragedy, REAL tragedy.

Hello/Yellow should read all the comments made by herself, Dawn, Sunni and Jeanne (all appear to be one and the same person) and ask herself the same questions she asked others in her latest missle. Does box of rocks come to mind? A wise person once said, "It is far better to remain silent and appear the fool than to speak and remove all doubt".
Posted by: Dawg Location: Denison on Nov 26, 2007 at 09:35 AM
Hello, Darlin'. It's good to see you. Conway(the twit)Twitty rides again. I am old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. Mister Evans is in good hands, not with Allstate, but the Fannin County judicial system. Light tap on the wrist. Tongue-in-cheek scolding and the admonition, "now don't you go gettin' yoreseff mixed up with no more freaks and if you do just beat the crap out of 'em or stomp a mudhole in their butts, but don't go cuttin' on 'em". As for Jerry Springer, he is way above my intelligence level, way up there in the ionosphere with Hello from Yellow, Dawn, Sunni and Jeanne. I did a reality check, but it bounced due to insufficient funds, so am not competent to comment further.
Posted by: Code Red Location: Bailey on Nov 26, 2007 at 07:39 AM
Now that all of you peanut brains have been properly chastized by another expert who writes with the same brilliant artistry as Dawn, grow up and quit acting so silly. Actually, I could agree with her, but then we would both be wrong. Who is jerry springer?
Posted by: Hello Location: Yellow on Nov 25, 2007 at 04:32 AM
Whats wrong with you people what happen to commenting on the story. Everyones comments have gone way out in left field. i think mr. evans should be charged with aggraveted asault with a deadly weapon. and everyone else should get back to reality. how old are you people, dont you have anything better to do. yall need to call jerry springer, cause thats about how silly yall sound.

Now that I think about it, Jack Crap did stop by my place awhile back to ride one of my jackasses. The jackass "freaked out" and put Jack Crap in the dirt. I guess you could say the jack bucked Jack off. Now ain't that just like a couple of jacks? Somebody say AMEN.
Posted by: Code Red Location: Bailey on Nov 19, 2007 at 04:17 PM
AAAHHH, unbridled passion, spirited self confidence, verve, elan, razor sharp wit, alacrity, sheer artistry with words, superior command and use of the English vocabulary, literary acumen, flawless spelling, perfect syntax, pithy rejoinders, magnetic personality exuding gravitas and absence of acrimony. A REAL woman with a REAL life possessing ALL these coveted qualities is just toooooo awesome for the poor, plebian unwashed to behold. Could it be Hilly commenting incognito? It is true that I am not acquainted with Jack Crap. I did see Jack squat once and have seen a lot of jackasses, some with long and some with short ears; some bray and some pray, but all make a lot of racket. Cum ba ya y'all, cum ba ya.

by no means has anyone gagged us. why fuel the fire, its stupid. and to the comment posted by gober its not a crime to be gay or anything else, my best friend of 19 years is gay, its the decpition. you should not hide what you are unless you are ashamed of it. if you dont have a problem with it then you should be able to let everyone know what you are instead of them finding out another way. as for us being gagged ha ha ha ha, you see we have a life other than just sitting in front of our computers feeding on idle gossip. word of advice code red get a life, you dont know jack crap. as for dewayne and his troubles its being handle and will be resolved, as for the real story i guess only dewayne and angie and their families will be the only ones who knows that. i guess everyone else can think or believe what they want to. wouldnt you like to know, i bet its eating you alive to hear that story. well sorry i have to get back to my life now this is boring....... later

What I find most frightening is that the people making the most outrageous comments will be voting next November. DUH!
Posted by: Goober Location: Gober on Nov 15, 2007 at 07:45 AM
As was so brilliantly and eloquently stated in a recent comment; just because a lot of people carry knives or guns (or both) doesn't mean they are looking for trouble. No, they are carried for self defense against "freaks" who don't make their true gender known before intimacy begins. And while it is okay to "beat the crap out of or stomp a mudhole in the rear of" these "freaks", thereby committing only offenses such as assault and battery and assault with intent to inflict bodily injury, the use of knife or gun should only be used if the bearer of the weapons "freaks out" or feels humiliated. Will someone please tell me when it became a crime to be gay, lesbian, hermaphrodite, transvite or member of a minority race or religion. Where in the Constitution and Bill of Rights are these people denied full rights under the law? And what gives these knife and gun carrying "normal" people the right to be judge, jury and exicutioner? Law of the jungle??
Posted by: Code Red Location: Bailey on Nov 14, 2007 at 07:00 AM
Who gagged Dawn, Sunni and Jeanne? Prosecutor? Defense counsel? Did Dewayne "come clean"? Did they just run out of something to say? We miss them.
Posted by: Hector Location: Ector on Nov 11, 2007 at 10:25 AM
Obviously, there are lots of rumors and unknowns regarding this case. One rumor is that Angie is a well endowed, well educated, quite attractive, quite feminine hermaphradite Mexican national (true hermaphrodites are rare). With all the current uproar and contorversy about illegal alien, sexual deviate, gay, lesbian, transgender, transvestite and terrorist rights one can but wonder what the courts might do, particularly if the Mexican government gets involved as they have in some recent death penalty cases. At the very least it will be an interesting case to watch if it goes to trial or if civil rights or other litigation follows. Perhaps all the elements of a hate crime case are not evident, but again, who knows what the courts might rule. This could be a legal and political hot potato. Staying tuned.
Posted by: Matt Location: Denton on Nov 10, 2007 at 10:00 PM
It's considered a hate crime if he knew the victim was "weaker" because of his race/creed/identity - basically targeted. I think this guy was in such a shock and didn't want to risk humiliation. Doesn't make it okay, but it's not a hate crime.
Posted by: Hector Location: Ector on Nov 10, 2007 at 02:23 PM
This incident has received a lot of attention with a lot of opinions expressed and a lot of off color jokes told. Obviously it is a serious crime. Some are saying it was just a "good old boy" who "freaked out", but I am wondering if it shouldn't fall into the category of a HATE CRIME and be adjudicated as such. Does Dewayne have a reputation for bias, prejudice and bigotry? I wonder.
Posted by: michelle Location: morenci on Nov 9, 2007 at 08:57 PM
just to let everyone know just because your carryin a knife dont mean your looking for trouble just like if your carrin a gun it does not mean your looking for trouble i carry both and have for years this angie dude should have let his prospected partner know the truth there are alot of people who say this is wrong but till your in that situation you never know what you will do. so quit judging anyone cause my man and the 75 other men i asked the same question too said they would have done the same thing and one actually admitted to beating the crap out of a guy that tried the same thing so if you cant be honest to tell the truth then you get what you get.
Posted by: Goober Location: Gober on Nov 8, 2007 at 11:51 AM
Just wondering what answers Dewayne gave to the questions posed to Dawn, Sunni, Jeanne, et al last week. Those answers could clear up a lot of the wild speculation that is dogging this incident.

Situation interessant. I personal prefer ugly fat femmes (any colour) with no teeth who smell of alcohol, cheap parfum and cigarette fumme. These REAL womens never complains and in Texas there are so many to select. So why Dewayne complain about a little extra bagage? Peut-etre is non REAL homme. And certain is non Francais!! Etrange.
Posted by: Alice Location: Dallas on Nov 7, 2007 at 07:16 AM
It seems Dewayne's family reached incorrect conclusions based on bad information and have gone from "beat the crap out of Angie" to "let us pray". They rushed to the defense of their relative and blamed everything/everyone except him for what happened. The story aired by KXII and the foolish remarks made by the sheriff only exacerbated the problem. The only two people who know exactly what happened are Dewayne and Angie. One of several things are possible: Dewayne will plea bargain to aggravated assault and get a light sentence (maybe probation). He will plead not guilty and be tried for whatever offense the prosecutor charges him with and a jury will decide guilt or innocence. Or a grand jury might decide to no bill him and he walks. Regardless of the legal outcome a lot of people have been affected by this thoughtless act of violence and its aftermath. Jumping to conclusions is akin to jumping from an airplane at 10,000 feet without a parachute, not real smart. Think before jumping.

Funny isn't it, how people hear a story or read about it and automatically start making their own version, and before you know it the story has become something thats not even true. people feed off this kind of stuff, example see how easy it was to get code red stirred up, and it looks like a few more are here to feed. all im saying is unless you know the real truth, maybe you should wait to hear it before you make more out of it than there really is to it. im not saying what Dewayne did is ok he knows it's not. Dewayne is by no means "mr. perfect" but he has never hurt anyone, that includes me. thats right i am family.but its like i said people feed off stuff like this,yes what evil lurks in the hearts of those who choose to feed off this story,and make up things that are not even true.out of all the comments here let he who is with out sin cast the first stone.just one word for the feeders its called "PRAYER".for Dewayne & Angie and their family & friends.now let that DAWN on ya. cop?
Posted by: Sunni Location: newark on Nov 5, 2007 at 09:03 PM
i have posted a previous comment but for some reason it didn't make the print.the night of this accident there was a strange voicemail i happened to hear threatening j.d.(dewayne) & reading through the different comments it has only struck my curiousity even more. jd isn't always the greatest guy but he isnt the type to hurt anyone this is so out of character something had to have snapped inside him if only briefly or the threatning voicemail was true and he was set up that would be perfect if you really think about it. this is a tragic event for both parties but for our family it seems like somethings just not right hopefully they will investigate every angle people bust themselves everyday with just the smallest mistake like how did code red know his name was dewayne unless they knew him read the article it's a misprint it says WAYNE something to ponder on as u say
Posted by: Dawg Location: Denison on Nov 5, 2007 at 04:52 PM
Danged if this don't beat all. Dewayne "freaked out", so that makes it okay for him to cut somebody his relations, and maybe some others, call a freak. Stee range. Yep, reeeeal steee range. Does "freaking out" come under the heading of temporary insanity or self defense? Now tell me, does "freaking out" mean that the "freaker outer" is a freak? Just one more thing to ponder.
Posted by: Code Red Location: Bailey on Nov 3, 2007 at 07:16 PM
Really inter-resting! I wonder if Dawn is really a Fannin County deputy sheriff. If not, she should apply. Her deductive reasoning skills surely make her qualified. She could become one of their invaluable "accomplishes" in solving heinous crimes such as this.
Posted by: Goober Location: Gober on Nov 3, 2007 at 10:09 AM
Questions for Deranged Dewayne: What color was the horse barn? Were there horses in the barn? How many? How far from hwy 11 was barn located? Was barn located near road/houses? How was barn interior configured? Did barn have electric lights? How many people in the barn? Was Dewayne apprehended at the barn or on hwy 11? How far from barn? Was there really a horse barn? Was Dewayne first apprehended by police? Someone else? Did Dewayne have blood on or about his person? Whose blood? Did Dewayne take anything belonging to Angie? What? Why? Did Dewayne say anything to people who apprehended him? What? What non violent escape/evasive actions did Dewayne take? Did Angie attack him with a weapon? What kind of weapon? Did Dewayne have cuts, stab wounds, scratches or other visible physical injuries about his person? If Dewayne "couldn't get Angie off of him" how was she restraining him? Drugs? With these answers perhaps it will DAWN on some people that all FACTS have not yet been made known.
Posted by: cooter Location: wolfe city on Nov 2, 2007 at 05:22 PM
People driving along highway 11 could see some men with guns detaining another man who had blood on him. Whose blood? His or that of someone else? Was he injured? Who injured him? Angie? If so, What did she injure him with? Did he require treatment for injuries? Was he Dewayne? If Dewayne was being raped, what kept him from escaping? Did he try to escape? Did he call for help? How was Angie holding him against his will? Did she have a weapon? If he would "NEVER hurt anyone on purpose" how is that Angie got carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey and Dewayne is in jail. Could it be that Dewayne is a pathological liar and sociopath instead of a "kind harted (sic) easy going man". Oh what evil webs we weave when first to practice to deceive. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The cooter knows.
Posted by: Dawn Location: Boyd, Texas on Nov 1, 2007 at 09:13 PM
Interresting, if Dewayne was held at gun point by some men till the police arrived, where did these men come from considering it was only him and "Angie" in the horse barn. Funny, these men are there, so that must mean they was there the whole time? So that would make them accomplishes to attempted murder. Why didn't they stop Dewayne? Or is there something more to the story that no one knows except Dewayne, "Angie", the men with the gun, and the one who posted the comment location code red? Since code red knows so much about the incident in question maybe the police should be talking with them. I will be sure the next time we speak with Dewayne we ask him about these men who held him at gun point.
Posted by: Wouldn't you like to know. Location: Wolfe City, TX on Nov 1, 2007 at 07:54 PM
For the claim of self defense, I want to ask why he did not run away when Angie left him for a few minutes? There were moments when he had many chances to run or scream for help, but he did not. "Angie" obviously was not holding him at knife point.
Posted by: Code Red Location: Bailey on Oct 31, 2007 at 08:43 PM
Poor Baby! Insanity resulting from childhood abuse and drug use might work. Self defense? Not likely. Oh, and Dewayne waited for the police not by choice, but because some men were holding him at gunpoint.
Posted by: Jeanne Location: Rhome Tx on Oct 31, 2007 at 11:44 AM
James Dewayne is not a crazed knife wielding hitchhicker. All the facts should be known before conclusions are made. Dewayne is a kind harted easy going man and he trusts others tto be the same way. This "woman" not only wasn't what it appeared but also took Dewayne 250 miles in the wrong direction. As if that wasn't enough then he finds out the person is going to want sex and when Dewayne sees there is more to this female than expected and tried to stop what was happening this person tried to force the issue and he had to defend himself. if this had been a woman defending herself against a man she wouldn't even be in jail. It is obvious Dewayne didn't want to hurt anyone or he wouldn't have called the police himself and waited for them. He would NEVER hurt anyone on purpose. I prayed for the person that was hurt because I wanted them to be healed but it wasn't an easy thing to do. Why? Because the one being accused of attempted murder instead of self defense is my son.
Posted by: Dawn Location: Boyd,Texas on Oct 31, 2007 at 10:54 AM
I think if the news is going to report on the story they should get their facts straight! For one his name is James Dewayne Evans not James Wayne Evans. For two he is not just some crazy hitch-hiker with a knife. for three he has never hurt anyone, he was trying to get to his brothers house, its not the first time he has walked to his brothers house or walked back. people have picked him up before and gave him a ride and he never hurt them, he evan paid them gas money for the ride. just a person without transportation. And last "Angie" looked like a woman from the waist up, but waist down was a man. Granted he shouldn't have stabbed "Angie" he should have just beat the living crap out of "Angie", but he freaked out. Maybe we should put ourselves in Mr. Evans shoes, what would you have done in that moment it was happing to you? Also considering he couldn't get "Angie off of him! Now thats the story, maybe the news should do more research on a story next time before they report on it!!!!!
Posted by: Cooter Location: Wolfe City on Oct 31, 2007 at 09:10 AM
So, Evans says that he was about to be raped and was only defending his virtue when he stabbed Angie repeatedly, left her for dead, took her keys and went south. Angie is care flighted to hospital and when released has to pay a huge amount to retrieve her vehicle which sheriff's deputies had towed from her private property "for safe keeping". All the while Evans is the darling of kookoo land and "it's uncertain at this time when or if this case will ever go to trial". Well, seems to me the case has already been tried and Angie is convicted while the "virtuous" stabber walks. Angie received international exposure via KXII's half baked story. What about Evans? Does he have a criminal record? If so, why hasn't it been aired? Is KXII interested in fair and balanced reporting or sensational "funny" pieces involving an alledged "freak" who survived a vicious attack. Is there not something rotten in Denmark - and Fannin County? Methinks there is.

Neil, get tired of being "stabbed" in the Sher-Den area and have to move? Or just try to find a new place to stab yourself for more attention?
Posted by: I know Location: Texas on Oct 27, 2007 at 12:14 PM
From someone who knows Angie, it would be hard for anyone looking at 'her' not to wonder what parts she sports. I wondered and soon found my initial thoughts to be correct. Unless he's blind, he'd have to have had a doubt somewhere in his dense head.

How could he not know that its (sic) a guy. Could it be that "it" has a pair of C cup breasts that many women only dream of having? Could it be that "it" is by every outward appearance an attractive female. Could it be that "it" is a well educated, articulate HUMAN BEING? Could it be? Be assured that "it" is. Learn more about such aberations, better understand "its" plight and thank God that "It" isn't you.

We as humans are intelligent enough to use our minds. Violence is never excusable unless for self defence, and even then, jesus says to turn the other cheek.

Angie should have gotten his/her a** kicked, and stomped, but we're not being told all of the story I'm sure. edited by Staff

OK first of all this gay right crap is just that...CRAP! They are immoral! Though I don't believe they guy should have been stabbed. Maybe just kicked the crap out of. The gay guy needs to be held responsible for his own actions as well. He's NOT the only victom in this matter. He are both victoms of eachothers ignorance. And you people quit calling HIM a she. It's degrading to us REAL woman and sick and wrong.

Just wonder if the illistrious inspectors Clouseau of Fannin County's Barney Fife Brigade will run an NCIC criminal background check on the cutter and have it published by KXII. Seems to me they did a pretty good hatchet job on the cuttee and should give equal attention to the cutter. But that's police work, something they don't seem to be familiar with.
Posted by: Angie Location: Fannin County on Oct 26, 2007 at 04:51 PM
Hey, they need to show a picture of this person so the rest of us "Angies" in Fannin County don't get profiled the rest of the weekend.
Posted by: Mike Location: Houston on Oct 26, 2007 at 03:16 PM
It's only shocking because it happened in Fannin County. In some parts of Houston, no one would notice. Sometimes violence is justifiable, or at least excusable.
Posted by: TransplantedTexan Location: Wisconsin on Oct 26, 2007 at 11:35 AM
The way I see it, Angie was about to "Stab" the hitchhiker. the early bird gets the worm, or in this case avoids getting the worm.
Posted by: Bandit Location: Durant on Oct 26, 2007 at 10:10 AM
The depth of stupidity and intolerance exibited in some of these comments is disgusting. How quick "normal" people are to judge and condemn anyone who is not like them, and call them "freaks". Does noone find it disturbing that the sheriff of Fannin County and his Barney Fife bunglers only told the stabber's version of what happened and nothing from the victim? Does this band of nitwits have no regard for a person's right to privacy? Maybe a lawsuit will open their eyes. Too many are too quick to express idiotic opinions without knowing all the facts, and clearly all the facts in this case were not published by KXII. Hermaphrodites did not choose to be what they are and do not deserve to be abused by "normal" people. I don't care to be around fat people, drunks, cigarette smokers, hypocrits, adulterers and other "normal" folks but I don't go around stabbing and leaving them to bleed to death. Know-it-all pundits need to look in a mirror and think before pontificating stupidity.
Posted by: Forrest Gump Location: Dundalk on Oct 26, 2007 at 09:58 AM
Well, the real lesson here is: don't BE a hitch-hiker, and don't PICK-UP a hitch-hiker. "And that's all I gotta say about that..."

Yes Woody, you're right. It's her fault for getting stabbed. Just like rape is the woman's fault. Duh.

This should not be a warning about picking up hitch-hikers, but instead a warning for transvestites not to try to con people into sex acts against their will.
Posted by: Al Day on Oct 25, 2007 at 11:09 PM
I'm a male hitcher, have done so in 25 different countries. I know that many hitchers in the u.s. carry some sort of defense. I myself, do not. One said that no woman they know has picked up a hitcher and I believe that to be true for that person. I have been picked by more women than I can remember. Yes, a minority but not a rarity. Mostly guys, but families, women with kids, single women, and even slender, beautiful blond females (no, I didn't proposition her nor have I *ever* done so to any of my rides). I've even been picked up a school bus with kids on it and on one occasion an ox cart. So from an experienced hitcher, no red flags would have been raised by a woman driver. No, I don't agree with stabbing someone but it's pretty pretentious to suggest that person to suggest that someone shouldn't be hitching. If you don't want to hitch or pick up hitchers, fine, don't. But others may choose to do so without suggestions to the opposite.
Posted by: Jennifer Location: Bailey, TX on Oct 25, 2007 at 09:13 PM
Holy cow! I was raised in Bailey and I didn't know we had freaks like that living here! Guess you really don't know who your neighbors are anymore! This is a very small town and you'd think we would know if there was someone like that in our town! Do we know "Angie's" real name? I wonder if I know shim?! LOL!
Posted by: buck Location: denison on Oct 25, 2007 at 08:00 PM
angie should have a mud hole stomped in her/him but not stabbed. also this angie person has mental problems, dressing like a woman, trying to have sex with a hitchhiker and not telling him he was a man up front.also there is nothing wrong with carrying a knife, i carry one and when i was growing up all men did the same.
Posted by: Ralf Location: Enschede, Netherlands on Oct 25, 2007 at 07:19 PM
Man, this guy could also be an acquaintance from a party, a customer or whatever. So what does this happening has to do with hitchhikers in general? Guess this guy had no bad intentions while hitchhiking. What a bad reporting.. "No, we are obviously not prejudiced" . LOL.
Posted by: ZeK Location: Mexico on Oct 25, 2007 at 06:28 PM
Interesting. Well I guess that guy really overreacted, he should have just told him to let him out.
Posted by: lisa Location: anna on Oct 25, 2007 at 05:24 PM
Let's look at what is known here. A guy hitchhiking with a knife - unfortunately not unusual by today's standards. Call it malice, defense, whatever, odds are if you pick it up..you could get hurt. Arlington is a long way from Wolfe City. Lots of conversational opportunity here. You know both somebodies were expecting to get LUCKY. Evan was most likely the LUCKY recipient of that deal 1st. And when he found he was duped by a man..EWWW, he got stupid! Fact is always stranger than fiction. Come on guys, what's the real story? And moreover, who's the real victim here?

Posted by: Durant Location: Durant on Oct 25, 2007 at 04:28 PM
It does not matter if the guy was dress like a Dutch Holland girl a stabbing is a stabbing. It's a crime so I thought to stab any one, is it not. So when did the law change where we can start to pick out what crimes that were ok to do and what crimes were not. I agree, it would have freaked me out to but.. in this day and age with all the sex change. We have woman dress like men and the men dress like woman it's every where now and not just in the big cities any more. You have to be really careful on who you try and pick up. They just may not be what you think they are. But the fact is Evans could have walk a way at any time. He chose to stay, he chose to stab her/him. He made his bed so to speak now it's time to do the time.
Posted by: billy Location: denison on Oct 25, 2007 at 03:53 PM
stabing was a bit much but i might have done the same thing if i was in that barn

Posted by: Al Location: Fannin County on Oct 25, 2007 at 03:18 PM
They don't know if this man will go to trial. Obviously, a judge thought it serious enough to set a $50,000 bond. Why would the hitchhiker have a weapon unless he was planning something? Obviously, he committed a crime and should be punished.
Posted by: Dustin McC. Location: Pottsboro on Oct 25, 2007 at 02:34 PM
Please let me know when Angie gets out of the hospital!! I'm sure she needs TLC.
Posted by: Keila Location: Helsinki on Oct 25, 2007 at 01:27 PM
"It’s uncertain at this time when or *if* this case will ever go to trial." Haha, if this goes to trial? So stabbing isn't a crime anymore?

Like Ru Paul said: We're all born naked. Everything after that is drag.
Posted by: Patience Hope Location: Louisville on Oct 25, 2007 at 01:08 PM
There was no WOMAN involved. The hitchhiker was obviously provoked. "Angie" was thinking with his pants as do all men.
Posted by: Beverly Location: Texas on Oct 25, 2007 at 12:03 PM
let the guy, who did the stabbing go. i don't blame him at all.
Posted by: Bill Location: Southmayd on Oct 25, 2007 at 11:36 AM
Tom,that's funny stuff,the hitcher got what he wanted,a ride,then he got a surprise,then he went too far,maybe a pop upside the head and take off, but the stabbing was too much, he needs to pay and pay hard.Getting stabbed for being surprised is a little too much if that was the case we would all be in trouble on Halloween.Besides the hi-Sheriff over ran on a platform of solving a certain crime and wont,not cant,wont and he thinks this one is funny, they need a real Sheriff over in Bonham.
Posted by: Lynn Location: Sherman on Oct 25, 2007 at 11:28 AM
OMG. This is too funny. Are you guys seroius? That hitcher got what he deserved for trolling for sex. Hee. He shouldn't have stabbed him... Maybe kicked his ass, but shouldn't have pulled a weapon. Geez, doesn't the hitcher watch CSI or tv? Ewww.
Posted by: Tom Location: Ardmore on Oct 25, 2007 at 10:36 AM
Listen man, forget about her. She's a heartbreaker. Gotta move on, get her out of your head. SHE DID THE SAME THING TO ME!
Posted by: KAREN Location: OKLAHOMA on Oct 25, 2007 at 10:02 AM
Freaks are every where. But I am not sure which is the real freak here. The "shim" driver - or the hitch hiker that agreed to have oral sex with a total stranger. karensopinion@gmail.com
Posted by: Barbie Location: Atlanta on Oct 25, 2007 at 10:01 AM
Makes sense that the most ignorant comment of the bunch comes from right here at home...read a book...bisexual and transsexual are not the same thing
Posted by: Karyn Location: Kingston on Oct 25, 2007 at 09:59 AM
When does this story make any sense? - "She" picks up a male hitchhiker. NO woman I know has ever picked up a male hitch hiker (red flag!!) - How long did they have to drive and talk before the idea of oral sex was in their 'casual' conversation? - When the hitch hiker found out 'Angie' was a man, why did he stab 'Angie'? Things were already weird enough. He should have just gotten out and walk (RAN) off. Or wait - maybe he have been hitch hiking in the first place!
Posted by: Duck Location: Texas on Oct 25, 2007 at 09:37 AM
Stabbing anyone is WRONG & that person needs to be punished unless they are TRUELY defending themselves from a Life threating & death issue should be punished; But anybody that is prending to be something that God DID NOT intend them to be needs to be put some where away from the general public for life with out have any chance to be released out in the world ever again!!!!!
Posted by: lori Location: tom bean on Oct 25, 2007 at 09:05 AM
The one stabbed, planned this little tris and deserved to get the holy crap beat (NOT stabbed)of him for not letting the 'guy' know he was a ''guy'' lmao Let me on the jury, he'll walk LOL LOL this is hysterical
Posted by: Jerry Location: Boston on Oct 25, 2007 at 08:44 AM
It's appauling how biased this article is. This 'Angie' IS the only victim here - the two were engaged in a mutually intimate act, and only when the hitcher got something he wasn't expecting did he decide to stab this poor woman. To say that she got what she deserved is disgusting. Are you saying that if she had been a biological woman that this would be perfectly OK? You should be ashamed.
Posted by: Beth Location: Sherman on Oct 25, 2007 at 08:41 AM
I disagree with woody..What right did Evan's have to stab(Angie). No body has the right to stab any one for any reason I don't care what it is. And to say she/he was the one responsible for getting stab is the most stuipd thing I have ever heard of. Evans should have known something was wrong in the first place. What nomal woman picks up a hitchhiker and has sex with them. Come on! Thats only in a guy fantasy. I bet he (Evan) could not believe his luck and just wait until he tells all the guys what happen to him. But it did not go the way he thought it would, did it. NO penthouse forum here is it. He(Evan)should have just walked or ran away. And nobody would have known what happen. And nobody would have gotten hurt. But now every one knows what happen. (And most are laughing) and thanking God it did not happen to them. Oh well you live and learn I guess.

Posted by: Hollie Spirit Location: oklahoma on Oct 25, 2007 at 04:07 AM
holy ignorance batman! Woody, Seriously they are both at fault here. They both only just met and its his fault for taking a roll in the hay with someone he just met, and its his/her fault for not telling the guy she wasnt a biological female. It makes her a transexual. The transexual is not necessarily at fault, but she/he put herself in a dangerous position, therefore getting stabbed as a result. She is a victim, albeit a very stupid one, that caused her own trauma. Lesson here, dont pick up hitchikers, (obvious)and secondly get to know someone before doing the hanky panky. Im seriously laughing over this one!
Posted by: Woody Location: Gainesville on Oct 24, 2007 at 09:23 PM
They should also put that stupid bi-sexual in jail. He/She is the one responsible for getting stabbed in the first place. Besides, it is much less safe to be a hitch hiker and accept a ride with anyone. You never know when it could be a pervert like this one is.
