Baylor athletes face assault charges

Two Baylor female athletes turned themselves in to Waco police Tuesday and face Class A misdemeanor assault charges after they allegedly beat a woman in Cameron Park.

Latara Darrett, a sophomore on the basketball team, and Ashlee Cooper, a sophomore on the volleyball team, confronted Chayla Cooper during an argument at 11 p.m. on Aug. 7, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Waco police spokesman Steve Anderson said an investigation revealed that Ashlee Cooper punched Chayla Cooper (no relation) in the face. Chayla Cooper allegedly pulled out a knife but then placed it on the ground. Darrett jumped on Chayla Cooper and the two girls fell over, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit states Ashlee Cooper and another unidentified woman kicked and punched Chayla Cooper in the face while she was fighting Darrett on the ground. The unidentified woman has not been charged, but the investigation is ongoing, Anderson said.

There was an article in one of the Florida papers over this past weekend about college-aged girls taking self-defense classes because of violent males on college campuses.

From wikipedia:

Baylor University is a private, Baptist-affiliated research university located in Waco, Texas. It is the largest Baptist university in the world by enrollment. Founded in 1845, Baylor is the oldest university in Texas operating under its original name. Baylor is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and is a member of the Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools.

Yes, it is officially a Baptist school, but that hasn’t stopped terrible recent controversies within the athletic department.
A few years ago a basketball player was found dead. He had been shot by a teammate, and the coach had to resign after his cover-up tactics were exposed -— very very nasty business.

Also a couple of baseball players got in trouble for snatching and skinning a little cat that would hang out at a local eatery (everyone who went there knew the kitty - just a harmless sweetie.)

The faculty there also blatantly persecuted a brilliant professor who had organized an international symposium on intelligent design. They found it so embarrassing that “scientists” would dare to stray from the strict Darwin dogma.

I was thoroughly disgusted with Baylor in the few years that I lived in Waco.

If somebody attacks you and pull out a weapon, you should be prepared to defend yourself with it.
