TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WIAT) — 19-year-old Akeria Lane was charged with attempted murder and is being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail.
UAB’s nursing program continues to fight nursing shortages Captain Jack Kennedy of the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit says she used her car to try to run over another woman Wednesday in the parking lot of a dorm on campus at the University of Alabama. The two women had an altercation over a UA male student.
“After reviewing the video and speaking to witnesses and the suspect, she was charged with attempted murder, and she was trying to drive over one individual,” said Kennedy.
CBS 42 got reaction to what happened. Some UA students say its unbelievable Akeria Lane allegedly tried to kill someone with a car. Steve Pusateri says he is glad nobody was injured.
“We should all be grateful nobody got hurt or killed or anything. I heard she was trying to run someone over especially since she was going after someone and I am glad they are not hurt. But that’s something so ridiculous,” said Pusateri.
UA senior student Ian Reilly says what happened was scary because so many students walk back and forth from classes and pass-through Bryant Hall all the time.
“Part of me is surprised and another part of me is not really surprised, you hear stories about people fighting over girls and guys all the time but it escalates quickly to that but crazy stuff happens. It’s pretty crazy it happened over there, I saw her get in the car and slam into the other one then drives off,” said Reilly.
Police did not identify the male student, but the dormitory houses student athletes including UA football players. Suspect Akeria Lane’s bond was set at $40,000 dollars.

Out of control young emotions. WTF was she thinking.
Queen-of-Sheeba look-alike .... belongs in the slammer ....
And it sounds like the nuclear engineering department may lose one of their undergraduate students.
She was not a UA student. Went to a local college.
So, it’s an 0bama daughter?
Sounds Norwegian. At it again. /s
Minor point; I found it somewhat odd that on this big college campus, the only students interviewed about this shocking event were young men. Maybe since the reporter, Tim Reid is a guy, he only felt comfortable asking the men for their reaction.
The accused murderess resembles an actress named Brandy, who used to have her own comedy TV show called Moesha.
Her career sputtered to a halt in 2007, shortly after she was involved in a 4 car crash that left one woman dead.

What a bunch of low-class morons.
Sounds like the bad part of town.
Another out of control woman of color. Tommy Sotomayor will probably be doing a video on this one.
When it comes to women of color, there is no bad part of town. There is only horrible and horribler parts of town. This one was a college student for Pedro’s sake.
Don’t disrespect the qwang.

Most everyone that walks through that area are male students because Bryant Hall is between fraternity houses and the buildings where most students go to class.
I learned this very well during my time in Tuscaloosa.
Oh, I see now. Thanks for explaining.
In that case, the reporter should have gone to the Student Union building, if they have one. Maybe such a building was too far into the campus to bring all the TV equipment.
That’s how it is at UC Berkeley.
Ducdame, ducdame, ducdame.
I like your Penname: Penelope Dreadful.
It sounds like a Kick Boxer.
