An woman suing a sponsor of the Taste of Joliet claims someone shot her in the face with a T-shirt.
Lots of people went to last year's Taste of Joliet with plans to stuff their faces, but not by getting in the way of a T-shirt hurtling through the air. Plans or not, a woman claims that's exactly what happened to her, and now she is suing the event's title sponsor. The suing woman, Debra Simmons, is going after D'Arcy Buick GMC Inc.
