Trial starts today in Bay City high-heeled eye-gouging case

The trial of an Ingersoll Township woman charged with gouging out a Bay City woman’s eye with her high-heeled shoe is beginning today in Bay County. Jury selection is underway in the trial of Rebekah M. Lloyd. Lloyd, 25, is charged with felony counts of assault with intent to cause harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon. The former charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, while the latter carries a four-year sentence. Prosecutors contend Lloyd attacked Michelle M. LeBlanc in the early morning of Aug. 13, 2010, while they were in the area of East Midland and South Linn streets. LeBlanc, 49, previously testified she was intoxicated and walking through a crowd of people when she hurled a racial slur and other belligerent language at a black woman, LaShay McFarlin.
