Dennis PlumleeDennis Plumlee has been itching to apologize since early September.
“I’m so sorry this happened,” the North Chatt Cat owner finally said in court Thursday. “It will never happen again. I promise you that. And it’s probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
Plumlee’s attorney, Johnny Houston, said the man has been trying to find a way to say “sorry” since he was charged with aggravated assault and vandalism. Police say he walked into the Epiphany Salon and Day Spa wielding a golf club and shouting about parking in front of his Frazier Avenue business.
After he scared Epiphany employee Anna Thompson, he took his golf club outside, where he used it to beat the passenger side of Ismahen Kangles’ car, according to an arrest affidavit.
It was just before 6 p.m., and when officers arrived, Thompson told them she thought the man who threatened her was the owner of the North Chatt Cat, a bar situated a few doors down from the spa. She went there with two police officers and spotted a picture of Plumlee hanging on the wall.
