Quote:MTSU coeds in fight over parking place; one charged with assault
BY DOUG DAVIS • DOUGDAVIS@DNJ.COM • AUGUST 27, 2008

An apparent fight over a parking space at the Bell Street Parking lot on the MTSU campus this morning required medical treatment for two MTSU coeds.

Seventeen-year-old Ashley Ramsay and 19-year-old Starlett Custer got into a fight in the parking lot. Ramsay was reported by Middle Tennessee Medical Center to be in stable condition before being transported to Vanderbilt hospital. Custer was treated and released from MTMC.

MTSU Campus Police responded to the call at 10:14 a.m. Wednesday, MTSU Police Chief Buddy Peaster said.

“From evidence at the scene and all the information we could gather, it appeared the two had been in some sort of confrontation over a parking space,” said Peaster. “The 17-year-old had suffered a number of rather severe injuries (lacerations) to the hands. left upper abdomen near the shoulder and to the left side of her face.“

He said the injuries seemed that they were caused by some kind of bladed instrument. But the chief said investigators are attempting to corroborate what they found with medical reports.

“Starlett is being charged with one count of aggravated assault,” said Peaster.

She was to be booked at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center after receiving medical treatment.

The case is still under investigation. The chief requests any witnesses or anyone with information about the incident to call MTSU Campus Police at 615-898-2424

Figures that a Custer would fight dirty.

That's nothing... I saw this lady beat the crap out of this other lady in the Target parking lot over a parking spot. I would've broken up the fight but parking spots are, in the words of my sister, like men...all of the good ones are taken and nothings left but the handicapped ones!

Never step between two women fighting. Never.

I know a a guy who just retired from teaching middle school. He's great big guy. Goes about 6'4" and 280. Went to college on a football scholarship. He was the "designated" fight breaker upper. He told me that, his entire time at that school, no two boys were there that he wouldn't step between, but the one time he stepped between two girls, 13 years old, about 90 lbs each, he was the one in the emergency room getting stitches.

Starlett Custer = good stripper name.

Or maybe "Custer's Last one night Stand".

I absolutely hate the parking at MTSU. I've felt like kicking someone's butt after trying to park up there. Having said that, when I was there they had a pretty efficient busing system. So I took the bus and avoided that problem all together.

Did I mention it fvcking sucks parking at UAB in the middle of the day?

I learned my lesson without a trip to an ER. It was my first year as a racial cross-over teacher and I had never paddled boys, let alone girls. The girls were the ones in that school who represented the greatest threat for violence. The boys generally wrestled while rolling around on the floor. Most blood loss was a matter from rolling into a chair or a locker.

The girls on the other hand went at it literally TOOTH AND NAIL with bloody results common. Two weeks into the year, a little girl DEMANDED to know "Why won't you paddle us?", and informed me that she and her fellows would "run over me if I continued my old ways. The next day I had my first paddle--with drilled holes as advised by old timers there, and I used it. It took a lot of "getting used to".

The principal at my former elementary school had handled all paddling, but in over 30 years had never paddled a girl. He never had taught in North B'ham. I had to do it in my 6th year. I saw children as young as primary grade students hit with paddles, cut wire applied across the backward bent palm, and lengths of plastic jump rope cut in half across the bare legs used like a bull-whip. It was a great cultural shock to see how violence pervaded both the students and their teachers. When there are over 2,100 students (FIRST GRADE THROUGH 8TH) and only 56 teachers, one principal, no assistant principals or other staff, you had to keep some order to survive.
