Women spar with sword and machete
By J. Eric Eckard
A spat between two children turned into a neighborhood duel, police said.
Rocky Mount police accused two women of attacking each other Wednesday morning at a school bus stop one armed with a sword and the other with a machete.
"They were swinging the sword and the machete at each other," said Rocky Mount police Sgt. Gerald Pipkin.
Both women Latecia Damita Anderson and Yolanda Nicole Braswell were charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Anderson, 29, of the 700 block of Ravenwood Drive and Braswell, 19, of the 600 block of Ravenwood Drive were released from custody under $1,000 bonds apiece.
The battle stemmed from a previous incident, in which Braswell's younger brother apparently struck Anderson's child in the eye with a rubber band on Tuesday either at their school or on the bus, Pipkin said. Shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday in front of Braswell's house, Anderson was on her child's bus when Braswell approached the bus armed with a machete, police charge.
"Anderson got off the bus, and a nearby person gave her a sword," said Pipkin, adding that it wasn't clear who gave Anderson the sword.
The two alleged combatants squared off, swinging their weapons at each other until officers arrived at the scene, police charge. Neither woman was hurt.
A third suspect also was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Marvin Rushard Braswell, 18, who lives at the same address as Yolanda Braswell, was accused of "hollering, shouting and encouraging the fight," police charge. He was released under a $500 bond. It's not known how the two were related.
I refuse to date women who's last name is Ihateyouyoubastard.
Kramer is my role model.
Don't date therapists either; most of them need one. And that is all I am going to say about that.
How about 'The Mommy Returns' (or should I have kept Mum)?
Now if only their voices didn't match the motion of their lips.
ROFL!
Polish...yeah that what those names are ...Polish!
Those darn I-talians, it musta been, I say!
Someone in the crowd just happened to have a sword on them?
And I thought *I* lived in a tough neighborhood...;-)
Ok, I'll say it since so many seem to be skirting around and insinuating it....ok here it is... There are white women named Leticia and Yolanda believe it or not; therefore, we cannot make the assumption that these were two black women. There I said it, everyone can go back to the daily living now...nothing else to see here move along.
You mean my mom can hack off your mom's head!!!

Have a great holiday....(stay away from any school bus stops!)
OK, so who in the world has a sword handy at a school bus stop?
>Yeah, I know--but I don't care what the names are; that's still redneck as all get-out.<
No, it's not. Rednecks would have used shootin' iarns.
Go ahead....say it.
You don't know that. They could be Bulgarians.
Thank you.......maybe 'stupid' category at least.
