ORIGINAL: Level
SAN DIEGO - A man who was caught on tape attacking a television news reporter was sentenced Friday to a year in jail and ordered to complete anger management classes.
Assad “Sam” Suleiman, 37, pleaded guilty in April to assaulting Fox 6 News San Diego reporter John Mattes in the upscale La Jolla area last September. His wife, Rosa Barraza, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and was ordered Friday to perform 30 days of community service.
In footage aired by the station, Mattes was conducting an interview outside a home when a woman identified as Barraza appeared. She smacked Mattes with a water bottle before she was joined by Suleiman, who punched Mattes in the face and put him in a headlock.

I actually know these people. My former company did a project for them and they were nightmares as clients go. Truly one of those situations where you are immediately sorry that you ever took them on as clients and cry in relief when the job is finally over and finished. At one point the owner of my company offered to find another company to take over the project to completion in order to not have to deal with them and the chaos they created within the company any longer.
OCD My ass. More like Tourette's. Every phone call I ever had the pleasure of experiencing with either one of them, became a profanity laced scream-a-thon on their part. I can't tell you the number of times I had to hang up on either of them. Truly it was simply a matter of time before something like this incident happened. Just to give you an idea...what should have been a 3 month long project, at most, turned into an 8 month long reign of terror.
By the end of project's completion I wouldn't even allow the 3 ladies in my office to deal with them due to their behavior towards my staff. My crews would attempt to bribe one another to get out of going to that site and working. More than once a crew would return and threaten to quit if they had to go back and deal with them. I finally had to ask that the clients not be on site whenever my crews were present because the crews refused to go if they were.
The only time I have ever lost my cool in a professional setting in my life was with Mr. Sulieman. It took 2 construction guys to drag me off my desk and 3 to hold him back when I finally lost it and went for his throat. In my defense, he came at me first. Believe me when I say she is just as bad, if not worse, than he is. Frankly, she should have received as much time or more than he did. Both of them deserved far more time than they received.
