Carolina Panther cheerleaders Angela Keathley, 26 (left) and Renee Thomas, 20 (right) were arrested early Sunday morning at a Tampa Bay area bar after a bathroom fight. According to the police report, witnesses say the two Top Cat cheerleaders were having sex in a stall at Banana Joe's, when other female bar patrons waiting to use the bathroom started shouting at them. After leaving the stall Thomas allegedly punched one of the other female customers in the face, and when arrested used a false identity - allegedly from an third Panther cheerleader not present. Keathley was said to be so drunk she was barely able to stand.
The Panthers were in Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers. Carolina won the game 34-14.
Additional reports from WCNC Charlotte and a newer report from video report from Tampa Bay's WTSP.
Update: Not unexpectedly the Carolina Panthers have fired the two women.

Better to play tail back for the Panthers than tight end for the Packers.

You know, if they had just gone into the mensroom to do the nasty they could have avoided the whole problem.
1) The line would have been shorter if it existed at all. Hence, no upset patrons. Most guys would probably just hold it for the opportunity to witness such an event. Hell, they might even be willing to break the "sharing a urinal taboo". Worse case they would have used the sink.
2) Guys would have NOT minded one bit at two hot cheerleaders going at in the mensroom. I highly expect there would have been cheering and it wouldn't have been from the cheer leaders.
3) Instead of punching someone out she most likely would have only needed to high five a few people.

I can't imagine two young drunk cheerleaders wanting to hide their lesbian activity in a bar. The report said nothing about a man being in the stall with them, so we all assume it was lesbian. I think they were in the stall doing coke. Why else would they hide?

While I can't get back into WCNC report (registration required after first visit it seems), it's entirely possible Keathley was puking in the stall and not engaging in a sex act. Read down in the WCNC report and witnesses say she was "extremely drunk" or words to that affect.
CBS Sports writes:
"Keathley was allegedly so intoxicated she could barely stand and would not cooperate with police."
Also sounds like Owen was not Owen at all, but someone else who looked her. Again from CBS:
"The police report states that Keathley's companion, identified as Renee Thomas by WTSP-TV, Tampa's CBS affiliate, punched one of the women, identified as Melissa Holden by the Tribune, waiting to use the bathroom, giving her a black eye. Police were called while all three women were escorted from the club."
Full report here.
Sounds to me like one friend was holding another's hair back all right, but for other,um, passionless reasons.

Yep, count my vote, too, for the nasal-hoohahs. Either that, or they were really, really, REALLY drunk. Since their mug shots have them captured making reasonably focused eye contact with THE MAN, I'm thinking they weren't so much drunk as they were lost in deep powder.

As for the fake name/ID thing, earlier reports said one of them was 22, but MSNBC.com says she was 20.
So she was using a friend's ID to get into the club (and drink), then was cornered when busted for something else.

Being a self-proclaimed expert on women in altered states of consciousness, I have to go with the drug angle. Really good looking women who are really drunk are still really good looking women. Really good looking women on some really bad drugs look like those mug shots.

Yeah, they should have been in the mens room--and I blame that mistake on being too fucked up, and originally intending to only pee.
