A distressing video shows the May 15 event play at Buckley Carpenter Elementary School in Somerville, a smaller city outside of Memphis. The battle unfolded after tensions between two women in the crowd boiled over to other members of the audience, authorities told Fox 13 Memphis.

Tyeisha Humphreys and Kierra Smith supposedly began fighting in the chairs of the school auditorium while many people down on the floor began exchanging blows as well.
Humphreys apparently blamed the battle on Smith, telling authorities that they have a long history and that she had now taken out a security order against her. Humphreys accused Smith of smacking her first, while “Smith insisted that her childhood acquaintance ignited the brawl, ” the New York Post reported.
Humphreys was arrested for violating an order of safety, inciting a riot, and three counts of simple abuse.
Records obtained by Fox 13 Memphis show that a man identified as Dantavious Gilchrease was also charged for an explanation that spilled outside of the building, during which he allegedly told Humphreys ’ family, Ronda Humphreys, that he would take her in the face.
Ronda Humphreys, who was also arrested in the struggle, told the local store that she was unjustly arrested and witnessed her brother being elbowed in the mind by an child during the battle.
“It’s actually embarrassing for the region. I hope the law can get to the middle of this and I may clear my name and find what really happened to my brother because the panel won’t let me look at the picture, ” she said.
“ I got violent. The police called the ambulance, ” she added. “They said he had a injury and released him. ”
Some children were charged as also.
