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.
I got that from Mr. Jeeves BTW
hehehehe
I haven't had a gyro in about a year. That sounds really good right now. Can you tell I haven't had dinner yet?
I've got a lasagna in the oven, but what is that,when you can have a gyro?
Was the murderer banging all the guys and felt spurned because they all had the hots for the girl that was murdered?
Too bad they couldn't fry that B#$%H!
....life with all the Butch Dikes is still not enough punishment for this POS!
Yeah, we are lovable like that pig in Babe!
KNOT!
Hey, at least you respect his dating advice too!
I can do either with equal aplomb!
LOL. And I thought I had you pegged!
No, but I noticed how you and Jeeves and Hitman are all in agreement! ROFL!
There's a lot involved, but the gist, is that the now deceased girl was new to the area and basically was moving in on the psycho's territory. Also, the murderer was bi and reportedly wanted to "get with" the dead girl.
It's a twisted story, really. I cannot believe that Court TV didn't pick up on this story.
You're right, it's too bad they couldn't fry this little twit. She is truly deranged.
Don't cry sweetie...when your as cute as Babe
your bound to get attention LOL
Are you trying to pick on me? Now THAT is funny! LOL
We might if we knew what you looked like. So far, personality is quite tasty!
ROFL....good one
Are you sure CourtTV isn't picking it up?
This is one trial I'd love to watch!
Tasty? You mean testy!
Not that I'm aware of. They should be if not. If you are interested in the case though, just go to qconline.com. This is a big story for the area and the trial is being covered daily in the paper and online.
I hope they give this little wench the worst that is possible. Thanks to the SC, she isn't eligible for the death penalty, but it's people( and I use that word loosely) like her that it was designed for.
