Ruby Arrested……

I figure it is not the end of her playing career if she can stay out of jail. I don't think the assault is going to put her there since it seemed to be more of a screaming match other than actual violence. Kicking in a door is the worst offense. Most coaches would handle this as a first offense and not dismiss from team guess we'll find out more in a week or so. I hope it is not the end for her a lot of players make a mistake like this and are allowed to move on from it. Even Dawn let a player move on from an incident where there was actually physical violence.
Aggravated burglary is a serious charge:

In Tennessee, aggravated burglary is a Class C felony. It involves the unlawful entry of a habitation with the intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault inside. A habitation is defined as any structure designed or adapted for overnight dwelling, including occupied vehicles. Sentencing can range from 3 to 15 years in prison, and a fine of up to $10,000 may be imposed

I suspect that this will be plead down to a much lesser charge, assuming it is not not dropped all together (fingers crossed). I am hoping for some significant mediating circumstances, cause this situation is way beyond skipping a class or other run of the mill violations of team rules.

My first guess to #2 is that the "victim" was planning to skip the country under a stolen identity.

Like others, I'm not saying Ruby's hands were completely clean either.
The whole thing smacks of Russian collusion. I suspect there is an international connection here somewhere.

I'm thinking it's unhinged and violent -- also super trashy -- to be breaking down multiple doors and breaking a glass mirror just to get a phone and an ID. Find someone with a phone, call the police, and let them go with you to retrieve your belongings.

Unless the other woman is a totaly lying psycho who kicked down the doors and broke the mirror herself in order to make Ruby look bad, then Whitehorn has some serious anger/judgement issues to deal with.

I'm glad no-one was physically injured, but even so, if the original report holds true, the pursuit had to go on for quite a while and was not just some split-second decision that went horribly, stupidly bad. Instead of ever thinking, "Whoa! What am I doing!? I need to leave!"... things escalated. Ugh.

I hope both women get counseling. 😢

That’s after she stole her phone and ID, if I steal your property and u chase me to get it back and I refuse and I start recording, what do u think I’ll get u on camera doing?
I just answered why it was claimed that she was charged. None of us knows what happened. I hope she is innocent.

Ok, I'll do my best John Grisham: *lovers' quarrel, *Ruby's had it, so she's leaving, *girl doesn't want Ruby to leave, so she chases her down in the parking lot, thus, the stolen phone and ID, *Ruby means it this time. Problem is, doors and doorframes ain't cheap.

Weren't we all 20 once? I must say, I'm pretty impressed with the ability to kick in a door--especially a front door. Hopefully, everything will return to normal and everyone will calm down.

Is it just me or is it strange that the “victim” was not identified in the article?
It's hard to imagine now, but, as late as the '50s journalism classes taught that a good newspaper article not only identified all the key people in the incident, but included their street addresses--the idea being to protect uninvolved people who might have the same name.

Calming down would be nice. Return to normal? Sounds like a high bar…

No, me too..looks like the police AND the media have decided who the bad guy is. Protecting the name of the victim.
News editor knows this is only a story because of who one of the people is.

And, who knows whether not identifying the other person was actually intended to protect Ruby from further damaging speculation by the public.

As my late wife used to say about breaking stories on any news network, "It's only an important story until they have the facts."

No, there is not a conspiracy here. This arrest has been classified as a case of domestic assault. News organizations have policies to protect the privacy of victims in cases of domestic violence.

In other words, the news media is following their standard protocol for reporting on a domestic violence incident. There is nothing strange, suspicious or conspiratorial about these news reports.

But someone made a judgement along the way that there was a domestic relationship.
