Couple Arrested After Fight at 12-Year-Olds' Softball Game in Sugar Land, Texas Hospitalizes Two Men
Photo: CBS NewsA Texas couple, Kiarious Marshun Hall and his wife Jazmine Hall, were arrested and charged after a fight at a 12-year-old girls' select softball game at Imperial Park in Sugar Land on Saturday that left one father hospitalized with a broken jaw, a fractured skull and three brain bleeds, according to his attorney. Charging documents say the dispute began over Kiarious Hall's cheering while the opposing team, the Timbergrove Thunder, was at bat; Hall told officers another man said he could not cheer before the pitch. Court records say witness video shows Hall striking one father in the face with a metal water bottle, knocking him unconscious, then swinging it at a second man. Hall claimed the men elbowed and poked his chest and that he acted in self-defense, but court documents say the video does not show that. The second man, grandfather Gary Greaser, said he stepped in to disarm Hall. Court records say Jazmine Hall then ran in and pushed Greaser, and both fell into bushes before bystanders separated everyone. Hall's daughter plays for Illusions Gold 2033. Jazmine Hall is an assistant principal at a Texas public school, and one report says she has since resigned.
The right-leaning Blaze and Breitbart lead with the video and the injuries. The Blaze headlines the assistant principal's job and says two men were pummeled, while Breitbart reports a fractured skull, a grandfather's broken hip and a woman, apparently Jazmine Hall, hitting an elderly man on the ground. Breitbart relies on ABC13 and the Daily Mail and describes the bottle strike as coming without warning. CBS News, on the left, gives a briefer account: it flags graphic content, calls the clash a sportsmanship dispute among parents, and notes one man's hospitalization and the couple's charges, with no details on the Halls' jobs or on weapons. All three agree on the basic sequence and charges. ZeroHedge, the alternative outlet, is distinct in stressing the resignation and Hall's self-defense claim, which court documents dispute.
How the sides differ Right sources stress the assistant principal's job and viral video of the attack; alternative sources add the self-defense claim; left coverage is brief, focusing on sportsmanship and charges.
