Grand jurors will hear testimony about an MTSU student accused of stabbing another student in a fight over a parking space Aug. 27 on campus.

Suspect Starlett Custer, 19, was charged with aggravated assault of victim Ashley Ramsay, MTSU Police Officer Vergena Forbes stated in an arrest report.

She bound her case to the grand jury without a hearing Tuesday in General Sessions Court. Grand jurors were expected to hear the case in January.

Custer was accused of cutting in front of Ramsay in the Bell Street parking lot, the officer reported. When Ramsay confronted Custer, she noticed Custer had something in her hand.

"Custer then struck Ms. Ramsay twice in the face, once in the arm and on the finger with an object believed to be a blade," Forbes reported.

Ramsay sustaned cuts to her face, arm and hand. She was treated at Middle Tennessee Medical Center.

Iduke you're right.

This is what can happen when you don't get your rear end out of bed and be grown up enough to give youself time to get to class. News Flash--Those sleeping until 3:00 in the afternoon days are OVER!!!

Yes, her future is pretty much ruined. But I feel for her parents, knowing the sacrifices they probably had to make to get her in school and now all that means nothing!

What a pity!!

Custer is not helping with race relations is she?

Custer should be charged with attempted murder. The victim was injured far worse than this article portrays. My guess is that Custer will only get a slap on the wrist and will probably do something worse to her next victim.

Nice system we have here. What should be a charge of attempted murder is only assault. I hope the public takes a good look at this criminal, as she posted $1,000 bail and is on the streets as I type this!

Maybe students should have assigned numbered spaces and be made to park off the main campus and take the bus to class.

As a parent I knew her back in high school and even though she was in the ROTC program she was known for being a "rough" kid. So sad for everyone involved.

By: Momma on 11/19/08
She should be charged with premeditated attempted murder.
I bet she wont be so rough in prison!!
