Two charged in tar and feathering in Alabama case
A tar and feathering attack on a 39 year old bride led to second degree kidnapping and third degree assault charges against her former sister in law and another woman. Manta McElwey of Vinemont and Robne Jean McCorkle of Town Creek face bonds set at eleven thousand dollars awaiting an August fifth arraignment. The sisters allegedly forced entry into a Town Creek trailer, cut her hair, tarred and feathered her, and dumped her at a garbage site after learning she planned to marry the bridegroom.
