fracture
By PATRICK VILLEGAS
Assistant News Editor
Matthew Oglesby, an 18-yearold
freshman, thought he and two
friends would enjoy a Sept. 5
evening at The Cock Pit.
Instead, their hopes of a fun
evening turned to misfortune when
Oglesby was struck outside the
Main Street bar. Oglesby now
awaits the results of a Thursday
morning CAT (Computer Actual
Tomography) scan to determine
how much longer he must stay at
Richland Memorial Hospital.
Oglesby "was struck in the head
by an unknown suspect in the
parking lot at the Cock Pit" at 1:30
a.m., a Columbia Police report
stated.
Oglesby was soon transported to
the hospital and treated for a fractured
skull, bruises on both sides
of the brain, a swelling of the head
and severe ear damage.
Oglesby and his friends, Jason
Ligon and Eric Vinson, all under
the age of 21, entered the popular
21-and-oldcr bar with no problems.
"We got in with valid ID's
showing that we were 18. They
stamped our hands and gave us no
problems," Vinson said.
Bill Hecklau, owner of The
Cock Pit, said the bar has had a 21

The students had no problems
inside the bar until a shoving
match broke out on the dance
floor.
"Everything was calm until we
saw some guys pushing Matt around
on the dance floor," Vinson
said. "We went over there and we
got into a shoving match. That's
when the bouncers told us to take

started to walk out of the bar when
Oglesby and Vinson were suddenly
struck from behind.
"I got hit when I stepped out (of
the bar)," Vinson said. He went on
to say he could not see what happened
to Oglesby.
When they finally spotted him,
Oglesby was lying on the sidewalk
with the injuries to his head.
The City of Columbia Police
Department is investigating the
incident.
