Assault on Ole Miss Campus: Part II

Yesterday I posted a video of an apparent assault on the Ole Miss campus with information relating to the difference between simple and aggravated assault.  The Oxford Eagle (Alyssa Schnugg) provides additional information:

...Marisha M. Porter, 19, of Columbus was charged with aggravated assault for using what police believe was a box cutter to cut three fellow students, according to a statement released late Wednesday by the university. She was taken to the Lafayette County Detention Center and booked on a $20,000 bond. She was bonded out at about 3:30 p.m.

The fight took place at about 11:30 a.m. in the Circle. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene and transported three female victims to Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi where they were treated for lacerations to the face and arms and released, according to hospital officials.

University Police Department investigators say the brawl was part of an ongoing personal dispute among the women that has been brewing for several days, and may have involved UM basketball player Terrence Watson who was apparently “involved” with two of the women in the fight...

Full story found here.  The Daily Mississippian has this report.  Note that Ms. Porter has been charged with aggravated assault.
