"Shocking Attack: Man Stabs Victim in Head with Flagpole at Oklahoma Sonic"

An Oklahoma man, Clinton Collins, drove a flagpole with an American flag attached through the head of another man at a Sonic fast food restaurant, stating "That's what he gets." The victim miraculously survived but is expected to lose an eye. Collins was charged with maiming, a felony crime in Oklahoma that carries a potential life sentence. The motive behind the attack remains unknown, and it is unclear whether the case will be handled in tribal court or US District Court due to the defendant's membership in the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
