Three UTM students were injured early Saturday morning when four unidentified men entered the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house on Lee Street, according to a Martin Police Department report.

When an MPD officer arrived at the house, fraternity members told him that two white males and two black males entered the house.

The students asked the men who they were, and then one of the white males assaulted three of the students, according to the report. The other three men did not take part in the assault, but attempted to get the first man out of the house, fraternity members said.

Witnesses then told police that all four suspects fled the house, running west on Lee Street toward Cambridge Studio Apartments.

They drove off in separate vehicles, one being a dark blue Chevrolet S10 pickup, and the other possibly being a Pontiac Grand Prix, according to the police report.

One of the victims, Charles Ford of Bartlett, had a large cut on his face and eye and was taken to Volunteer Community Hospital. The second victim, Adam Hooper of McEwen, suffered a black eye and swollen cheek, and the third victim, Will Brown of Selmer, also suffered a swollen cheek and eye.

MPD is still investigating the incident. The four suspects had not been identified as of press time.

In an unrelated case, two UTM students witnessed an injury about 1:30 a.m. Saturday at Pacer Manor Apartments, also on Lee Street.

According to a Martin Police report, Benjamin Moore, 19, of Martin, was injured when he fell from an outside stair railing that led down from a second-floor apartment landing. When police arrived, Moore was unresponsive and had a strong alcohol odor on his breath, according to the report. The two students told police that Moore was attempting to slide down the stair railing when he lost his balance and fell.

Moore was taken to Volunteer Community Hospital in Martin and then airlifted to Jackson Madison County General Hospital in Jackson.

MPD contacted Moore’s parents shortly after the incident. While hospital reports are considered private record, Moore’s parents did confirm to The Pacer that Moore suffered cracked ribs and is in good condition. His parents did not wish to comment further.
