SPOKANE -- Caroline Francis was driving home from the gym last week when three young men pulled up next to her acting like they needed directions. When she tried to help them, they threw urine in her face.

Last Tuesday night around 7:30 Caroline was headed home after working out at the YMCA . She pulled to a stop at the light at Lincoln and Boone when a large white van pulled up next to her.

“There was a guy sitting there doing this, roll down your window, he was asking me for directions where some road was,” Caroline said.

From what Caroline thought was the safety of her own car, she gave the three guys in the van directions, but they kept asking questions.

“I should have known something was up because he was inquiring a lot,” she said.

As soon as the light turned green they drenched Caroline with a 20-ounce water bottle filled with urine.

“I know this is really gross but I thought it was water and then I could smell it and it was all over me and I was freaking out shaking,” Caroline said.

“It got all over me, in my eye, in my mouth, all over my car.”

Caroline is trying to forget the smell and the taste but what is the most scarring for Caroline is the look on the guy’s face.

“He leaned out the window and threw it at me, and then came out even farther so that his waist was out the window and he just had to get every last drop on my face and he had the meanest look on his face, I won't forget that look it was so malicious,” she said.

After she got home and took a shower she reported the urine assault to police and also called a nurse who said she didn't need to worry about disease because urine is pretty sterile. As for her car, she had to clean it herself. While urine might be considered sterile car detailing places refused to clean it because they considered it a biohazard.

Caroline Francis then did one more thing. She wrote to the Cheers and Jeers section of The Inlander last week and let the trio who attacked her know what she thought of them.
