Tennessee State Staffer Ariel Escobar Rammed Team’s Running Back With Car And Ketchup
A female employee of the Tennessee State football team is accused of ramming her automobile into a player’s car out of extreme jealousy. Devon Starling told Davidson County authorities in the early hours of December 3 that Tigers director of football operations and on-campus recruitment Ariel Escobar struck his vehicle while he and his girlfriend were inside.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the university employee later told police that she wanted Starling to tell his fiancée that he and Escobar had a “sexual relationship.”
Escobar is said to have followed Starling’s car outside of his apartment complex, which prompted him to call the police. Starling returned and parked his car after circling for a while.
