Eben Ryan Mallory, a graduate student from Aspen, Colo., said he was aware of a previous incident involving one of his friends and Justin Ward, a junior from Royston. Mallory said he saw Ward sitting near Jittery Joe's and approached to ask if he committed the crime.
"[Ward] was saying 'no' and I heard [Mallory] say he was calling the police," said Charles Ryan Barber, a junior from Saint Simons Island who witnessed the conversation.
Barber said he didn't see Ward move, but Mallory placed him in a headlock in what at first appeared to be a joke. But he stayed that way until security arrived.
"Seven or eight officers showed up and they separated them," Barber said.
Mallory said he wants the police to take over and investigate the alleged crime. Mallory and Ward wrote statements for the police.
"I made sure the cops got here," Mallory said. "They're the ones who need to step up. This [crime] is not something I take lightly."
But Mallory said he was sorry the situation occurred and that his emotions took hold of him.
"I just wanted to make sure he didn't go anywhere," he said.

What crime did Ward supposedly commit? Are any charges pending or were there any arrests made? This story is hilarious, but it might as well have read, "Some guy grabs some other guy for some reason. (Continued…)

This article demonstrates the notorious depth of Red&Black reports. One can only imagine what these journalists will uncover next!

Yes. Crappy reporting. How about a police report? But no doubt - best event of the week!

Worst story ever... some guy from CO grabbed another guy and then the police showed up. Somehow there are not one, but two pictures and we still don't know what the whole thing was about. (Continued…)

This sort of incident disappoints me as an alum. Let's handle confrontations as adults, gentlemen.

My GODDDDD!!!
The "reporting" of the Red and Black just keeps on getting worse. This is an awful story, as it is presented. Might I suggest "The Investigative Reporter's Handbook. (Continued…)
