Nov. 7, 2005 A weekend bar brawl involving a cheerleader for the Carolina Panthers has sparked charges and questions over an apparent mistaken identity.
Panther cheerleader Angela Keathley, 26, and another woman whose identity remains a mystery to police face charges for a bar brawl at Banana Joe's in Tampa, Fla., early Sunday. Police arrested Keathley and another woman who identified herself as fellow cheerleader Kristen Owen after authorities said they got into an argument in the bathroom at the bar.
Police said the woman who identified herself as Owen gave the authorities the cheerleader's address. But according to her parents, Owen a first-year cheerleader and recent college graduate was not even in Florida at the time of the altercation.
"She was out of town in Columbia, South Carolina, at a wedding," Renee Owen, Kristen's mother, told ABC News affiliate WFTS in Tampa. "She did not go to Tampa this weekend."
Complaints About Alleged Bathroom Sex
The events that led to the arrests began when bar patrons complained that two women were engaging in sex and tying up a bathroom stall. Police said "Owen" punched Keathley in the face and was charged with battery. Keathly was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
"There had been a physical altercation between one lady and another bar patron, all over the use of a stall or something that happened in the bathroom," said Tampa Police Lt. John Newman. "According to the report, there was quote, unquote some sort of sexual activity going on in the stall."
Authorities first learned that the woman was not really Owen after she posted bond. Police said they will try to identify the mystery woman with fingerprints and help from the NFL today.
Meanwhile, the Owen family says they may file a defamation lawsuit against the unidentified woman.
You are naughty...to the corner please!!!
Hey, mine was breaking news. Although, the mods took it out of breaking news. Even worse still, the prudish mods took it out of crime and culture/society as well.
hey, I'm just glad I found it.
Hmmmmm. One of FR's mysteries! ;o)
Not I!!!
I blame society, for my behavior, I'm a good person, look what they made me do.
Perhaps if you were to go out and burn a few cars, you'd
feel better about yourself.
Spoken like a true man. Geez. :)
I'm betting that it was BOTH coke and sex. I've seen the sex thing happen about 13 years ago when I worked at a ChiChi's restaurant (appropriatley). I could not believe it when I walked in to use the potty. I went and told my manager, but he said to just leave well enough alone unless someone else complains. Just like a male.
They look like the same chics to me.
Nice color. LOL.
I'm thinking that would be for you!!
Yep. Leave well enough alone. Did you get any pictures? LOL
Make-up really helps this gals out - doesn't it!
Ha, ha. No, I was mortified.
Man, oh man, the po-lice are really good there, they do not know who she is but they let her bond out? Gomer and Barney are really on top of things there....
If the ladies had the foresight to screw around in the MEN'S restroom, no one would have complained.
I would have tipped them. ;o)
It is SOOOOOO you!
....he's always naughty!
....spank him, he likes it!
