Authorities arrested Tanya Seymour, wife of NFL player and former Lower Richland standout Richard Seymour, sometime Thursday because they say she is connected to an assault at a home on Fontana Drive.

Deputies say the incident began after two victims, who told investigators that they had been invited to the party, were engaged in a verbal altercation with an unknown number of people.

Investigators say the two victims were assaulted by a group of people, and they told deputies the group "jumped" them.

EMS responded to the scene and they determined that one of the victims suffered from a sprained wrist.

Seymour is being detained at the Richland County jail.

Lynching is defined as a violent act that is inflicted on another person by a mob. A mob is described as the assembly of two or more people, without authority or color of law, with premeditated purpose and premeditated intent of committing an act of violence upon another person.

Second degree lynching is when death does not result, and carries a potential penalty of three to twenty years.
Although there was a time when very tough lynching laws were a necessity, and there are circumstances when these laws should undoubtedly be strictly enforced, today lynching in the second degree is often charged when there are only two persons accused of attacking another, such as in a barroom brawl.
