Apparently Johnny De La Rosa was initially able to convince the police that he shot a woman in self-defense after she had stabbed him. That's why she was arrested and spent ten days in jail.
Luckily we live in an age where there are video cameras everywhere, documenting everything. This isn't the 1950s anymore, so she won't be rotting away in prison because he said he was the real victim. The cameras showed that in the moments before the attack, De La Rosa attempted to hit the woman with his car. He then grabbed her and tried to push her into oncoming traffic. That was when she stabbed him. She told police he was harassing her for months. He was a clerk at a convenience store who hit on her when she would go in. She reported it to his manager and he was fired. Then he started showing up at her job. He's charged with stalking. It's not clear if the aggravated assault charge against her will be dropped or why it took them ten days to get her story or the corroborating video.
