Two men get in a dispute over a parking space.

It’s been known to happen. We’re approaching the time of the year when that is more likely to occur. Words have been known to be exchanged.

That’s ordinary. What’s extraordinary, and horrifying, is what Clifton Blackwell stands accused of doing to Mahud Villalaz during a parking dispute on Nov. 1 in Milwaukee.

Villalaz, 42, suffered second-degree burns to his face after a brief confrontation.

According to Villalaz, the attack occurred about 8:30 p.m. when Villalaz parked his truck outside La Sierrita Restaurant and began to head inside for dinner.
