TAMPA, Fla.(AP) - A former Carolina Panthers cheerleader got six months probation for her role in a bathroom brawl sparked by accusations that she was having sex with another cheerleader. Angela Keathley, 26, pleaded guilty Wednesday to disorderly conduct and obstructing a police officer during the Nov. 6 fight, which broke out when women in line to use the bathroom made the allegations about Keathley and fellow cheerleader Victoria Renee Thomas.
Thomas, 20, denied the sex allegation. She has pleaded not guilty to giving a false name to a police officer, battery and unlawful display of a license. The Panthers fired the pair for violating a signed code that bans conduct embarrassing to the Panthers.
Note: Actually, the Panthers fired two pair. And that makes the Panthers' postseason run even more remarkable - down two cheerleaders! Amazing resiliency.

Panthers' cheerleaders arrested after pawing in bathroom stall - National Post news services
Action in the NFL's Season of Behaving Badly moved south from Minnesota and landed in Tampa on the weekend when two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders were arrested early Sunday morning at a club there. The Top Cats, identified by police as Angela Keathley, 26, and Renee Thomas, 20, were at a club called Banana Joe's in downtown Tampa when they got into an altercation in the women's bathroom. Other patrons of the club were angered that Thomas and Keathley were taking too long in one of the stalls; in fact, they believed the women were having sex with each other there.
When the cheerleaders emerged, Thomas, who is described on the Panthers' Web site as a rookie team member and a student at UNC-Charlotte who wants to earn a doctorate in dental surgery, is accused of trying to do some rudimentary dental work on another patron with her fist. "The blonde hit me in the face," said Melissa Holden, who restrained Thomas until police arrived.
Keathley, who would be "the brunette" in the scenario, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. A police report obtained by the Tampa Tribune said she was drunk, as well as "rude and belligerent," and refused to be handcuffed. Thomas's charges include battery and a felony charge of giving a false name at the time of her arrest.
