Sophia was charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication from alcohol, fourth-degree assault and third- degree assault of a police officer.
A University of Kentucky student faces severe consequences after attacking a fellow student with racial slurs.
In response to an assault on Kylah Spring, a Black student working as a desk clerk in a college dormitory was arrested early Sunday morning. Spring described the incident in a video on TikTok.
I stuck my head out the window and asked if I was okay. What's happening? Spring explained that when the N-word, the B-word, those racial slurs and things started coming out, it was at that time.
She said they took a minute after she called them down. The girl called me the N-word and the B-word multiple times, she punched me twice at this point, and she kicked me in the stomach.
Spring admitted that she and her friend had the same experience, so she decided to keep her friend's identity a secret.
The girl says things like, "Do my chores; it's not my fault that you're Black; it's not my fault that you're ugly; at this point, she's like singing the N" Multiple people are trying to get this girl to be quiet Some people were trying to calm her down when she bit them.
According to Spring, she kicked one of the police officers after they arrived and refused to give them her identity.
According to the report, her bond was set at $10,000 after she was arrested. She is accused of disorderly conduct, public intoxication from alcohol, fourth degree assault, and third degree assault of a police officer.
Spring said in her video that incidents like the one she experienced occur too frequently on college campuses and that little is being done about it.
She said that the attention needed to be shifted from the offenders to the offended.
The University of Kentucky released an initial statement on social media stating that they were investigating and supporting the victim.
Dr. Eli Capilouto was the president of the UK. Spring used discretion in her actions from his point of view. As the investigation into the incident progresses, Capilouto will give an update to the faculty and staff.
Capilouto said that the video images did not honor their responsibilities to each other. Violence and a denial of the humanity of members of our community are reflected in them. Civil discourse isn't reflected by them. They are not in line with what we want to be as a group.
He said that there was no more important responsibility than to treat each person on the campus as if they were worth something.
According to her profile, she worked as a Dillard's campusinfluencer. She was hired by Dillard's and Her Campus Media, the parent company of College Fashionista, to work there.
College Fashionista said in a statement that they would be doing an immediate full assessment of their member management procedures.
The company said they do not condone racism or hate in any way. We affirm that black lives matter. It's full stop.
