The wife of New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour was arrested Thursday (January 29) in South Carolina on charges of lynching, which is akin to group fighting, stemming from an altercation at a New Year's Eve party.
Tanya L. Seymour, 27, (shown left in her police mug shot) a mom of three, was arrested in Columbia, S.C., where she and her husband live in the off-season, and charged with two counts of second-degree lynching, according to Richland County criminal court records.
Seymour shares the Gadsden, S.C. home with husband Richard Seymour, who won three Superbowls with the Patriots. She appeared in a Richland County courtroom Thursday and was released after posting bond, according to the court records. Seymour is charged in connection with an assault on two people at a New Year's Eve party on Fontana Drive in Columbia, S.C., the Columbia, S.C., TV station WLTX is reporting.
The alleged victims, who told police they were invited to the party, were involved in a "verbal altercation" with a group of people at the party, the station reported.
The two alleged victims told police they were "jumped" by a group of people and assaulted sometime after 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 1. One of the alleged victims suffered a sprained wrist in the assault, the station reported.
Seymour and two female friends were arrested, according to Richland County Sheriff's Department Lt. Chris Cowan. He said it was unclear what prompted the altercation and there was no indication Seymour knew the alleged victims before the party.
However, blog-o-sphere sources say, Tanya Seymour "did" know one of the alleged victims. Rumor has it that Mrs. Seymour found out her hubby was having an affair and jumped on his "girlfriend". Full story here
