Crime Alert - August 28, 2008

On August 27, 2008, at approximately 10:14 a.m., two female MTSU students were involved in an argument over a parking place in the Bell Street parking lot on the MTSU campus. The argument ended when the suspect, Starlett Custer, 19 years of age, intentionally cut the victim, a 17-year-old juvenile, across the face and across the shoulder and arm area with some type of bladed instrument. The victim's injuries were not considered life-threatening; however, she was transported to Middle Tennessee Medical Center and treated. The suspect was arrested by MTSU Police and charged with aggravated assault. This case remains under investigation by MTSU Police.


Extra precautions you should take:

 

·         Use the University Escort Service (call 2424).

·         Do not walk alone, especially at night.

·         Stay away from dark, poorly-lighted areas, especially buildings, parking lots, bushes, hedges, and alleys.

·         Do not walk with your head down. Walk confidently and watch around you at all times.

·         Never talk to strangers. Never accept rides from a stranger or mere acquaintance. Always inform another person about your destination and expected time of return. This could save your life.

·         If you have any information about this crime or any other crime, please call MTSU Department of Public Safety at (615)898-2424. Or you may call Crime Stoppers at (615)893-STOP between the hours of 8:00AM and 4:30PM, Monday through Friday.  Should you call Crime Stoppers and your information lead to an arrest, you may be eligible for an award of up to $1,000. All calls are anonymous and confidential.
