BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) -- Police have arrested a Bowling Green State University student accused of attacking her roommate with a hot iron in their dorm room.
Eighteen-year-old Sharronda A. Barkley of Macedonia has been charged with felonious assault. Police say she hit eighteen-year-old Heather Haase in the head and burned her arm with the iron when Haase returned to their room early Tuesday.
Hasse, of Jefferson in northeast Ohio, was treated for a skull fracture, bruises, cuts and a burn at a hospital and then released.
Police say Barkley accused her roommate of planting a hidden camera in the room. A judge has ordered Barkley to stay away from Haase and not return to Bowling Green.
Classes there started Monday.
Bowling Green's a great university.
Whiny suburban liberalism gets a lesson in urban reality? Just a wild guess... ;)
Strike while the iron's hot!
Ethnicity?
Well, I guess the big question is, did the victim get the assualt on the hidden camera?
Well that didn't take long.
Pics?
Hate crime?
Wow school pressure hasn't even set in yet.
Unfortunate that the mentally ill newbies don't crash untill the age of their Freshmen year in allot of cases.
Unfortunate for the roomate who was the fixation for the mentally ill student.
I am going to assume that the hot iron was a hair iron.
A clothes iron seems kinda outdated with today's wash and wear.
If it was Eugene Oregon I would know it wasn't a clothes iron.
What do you do when you're branded, when you fight for your name?
girls named heather are almost always cute/attractive. girals named sharronda om the other hand...
You and I are thinking the same thing. My 1/2 sister was never violent (tho she did have paranoid delusions) but she sure spiraled out of control in her freshman year. Unfortunately, my parents didn't understand what was happening and allowed her to transfer to another school for her 2nd year - where the same stuff started happening again.
She's been on disability for mental issues most of her adult life and it all came crashing down that 1st year in school.
When I practiced law, I worked w/the parents of schizophrenics and the stories were similar - nice middle class kids who went off the edge when they hit college. It's not the pressure of school, it's the nature of schizophrenia.
I agree severe mental illness seems to show up in the first severe episodes at the age of 19 or 20.
