Virginia Tech student Craig Troisi has been arrested after an altercation last night with his girlfriend Charlotte Lauren.
Lauren, 21 of Columbia, Md, and Troisi, 21 of Easton, Md, got into a fight at his house on the 300 block of Franklin drive after going out to celebrate his 21st birthday. Lauren was knocked to the ground resulting in severe head lacerations, and was also later determined to have suffered skull fractures. When police responded to the scene at around 1:10 a.m. they placed Troisi under arrest for assault and battery, as well as public intoxication. Lauren was transported to the Montgomery Regional Hospital. She was later moved to the Lewis-Gale Medical Center in Salem, Va.
Troisi remains under custody at the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office jail, held on $1,500 secured bail. Blacksburg police officer Sgt. Nathan O'Dell said Troisi may also face a felony malicious wounding charge due to the severity of Lauren's injuries. O'Dell said Troisi's current charge is a class one misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of 12 months incarceration and/or a $2,500 fine. Felony malicious wounding charges carry a maximum penalty of one to three years in jail and/or a $2,500 fine.

This is a personal matter. I think the decision to publish Lauren's name was ridiculous. Assault and battery are VERY sensitive subjects to females and to include a victim's name is unthoughtful and hurtful. I have no problem with the publishing of Troisi's name because he is a predator and at fault. Yet, I can't find any beneficial reason to include Lauren's name other than the CT is following in the footsteps of the popular, and somewhat disgusting, tabloids.

yo the only thing troisi is guilty of is being drunk. there is no way he had intent to harm charlotte. ive known the man 6 years and has never harmed anyone drunk or sober. i think this whole thing is making troisi look like a villain when actually it was just two drunk people arguing that led to an unfortunate accident. there is a lot more to this story than the rest of you ignorant people know.
