ROCK HILL, S.C. (CBS Charlotte) — A South Carolina man has been charged with attempted murder after throwing a bowling ball at a woman’s head.

York County authorities arrested Omar Sheree Stevenson, 33, for the Dec. 18 incident at the Strikers Family Sports Center in Rock Hill.

Police say Stevenson threw a 12-pound bowling ball at the victim’s head when she refused to let him buy drinks for her.

The bowling ball hit the victim in the forehead while she was sitting on a bench. Authorities say the victim’s skull was visible from the impact, according to the police report obtained by CBS Charlotte.

The victim was transported to Piedmont Medical Center where she received stitches and was released. She did not suffer a fractured skull or a concussion.

Stevenson is currently being held at the York County Detention Center.

  • Mike Notsaying

    i believe in fair and partial treatment of all people criminals or not BUT i will say if hes found guilty by a trial of his peers of this hanus crime id hope they push for a max sentence

  • flameofjudah

    She saved herself a lot more , G-d forbid, pain and agony by refusing this animal’s offer of drinks! Can you imagine what a relationship with this brute would be like?

  • ST

    Time for a ban on all balls!
    They are to dangerous for the normal person to have and need to be banned.

  • LOL

    If they cannot be banned, we should push for bowling ball registration. Need to limit the size and weight of them. Conduct background checks on all bowlers. We don’t need people just carrying those around. What could be a friendly drink spiking turns into someone throwing a ball at a woman’s head. We need federal legislation now to outlaw the use of bowling balls by those who are not trained professionals who use them for their job.

    We also need to force the bowling ball manufactures to place a warning label on the balls informing the dangers of improper use.

    There is NO valid reason for citizens to have access to these types of projectiles. Registration should be mandatory except for police and all federal officials.

    Did you seriously suggest she should be “nice”?

    Hmmm, sooooooo. You axe a girl if she wants a drink – she say no – you chuck a bowling ball at her head and she then says, “ouch, okay, my bad – I think I’ll take that drink now. And by the way, I would love to have your babies, cook, clean, and do yo laundry too”.
    Sounds like a good plan, eh?

  • Omar

    I blame the bowling ball. Like, if it hadn’t been sitting in the bowling alley ready to be thrown, I wouldn’t have taken such drastic action to defend my ego.

    Liberals, let’s unite and outlaw bowling balls, because they can kill people.

    Wasn’t this a caveman pickup ploy? To bang the object of his desire in the head and cart her away? Guess this one never “evolved” to Facebook threats…

    This poor lady should sue the bowling alley for a WIG of her choice since going into that place ended with her receiving a balled head !!

    I bet Harry beats women

  • stoptouchingthatmabel

    Come on he was just showing her how to get the spare if you have a 7 – 10 split. The misunderstanding started when he tried to show her by using her skull as the pins.

  • ablecynic

    Can I get a ‘concealed carry’ permit for my balls? Bowling balls I mean.

  • geoffrey limes

    He’s a kneegrow. Who would have thunk [sic] it. (sarcasm)

  • Stephen R Boltinghouse

    I’m just worried about all of the bystanders who kept yelling for him to SPARE her (bad taste, I know, sorry), Actually, I hope someone throws a bowling ball at his balls.

  • columbia300

    Nothing hits like a Hammer…

  • TerranceC

    I agree – Harry beats women, dogs and small children – when they’re not nice to him. Otherwise, he’s quite the catch, ladies.

  • Justin Case

    Bowling ball coming your way — let me now how it feels

  • sa

    you’re right. only if he slashed her throat with a pocketknife this story would be more worthy of attention. because if a women rejects your advances, she should totally expect bowling balls or fists and other blunt/sharp objects headed her way and only complain if she happens to lose consciousness or die.

    next time you don’t hold the door for me I’ll throw a hammer to your head. nbd right?

  • Emily

    It’s probably this massively creepy jerk’s idea that THROWING A BOWLING BALL AT A WOMAN is fair game because she turned down his offer. She has the right to turn down his drinks. He doesn’t have the right to throw things at her, whether she received minor injuries or not.

    And she could have died, so shut up.

  • Emily

    I am seriously appalled by this comment. You cannot blame this on her. She has the right to turn down his offer, that is the end of it.

  • guessed

    really? because of his “ridiculous” name?

    put your white hood back on–you should be rounded up in the same pen as him.

  • rosie

    rape culture: you’re doing it right.
    congrats.

  • Craig Nelson

    Lets hope the jokers are TAPPED out!

  • Big Ern McCracken

    She got “Munsoned”

  • Oce

    Rape culture is when incidents like this aren’t isolated and happen with alarming frequency. As in, the rape culture of today’s society. This is just one of many incidents that happen because a woman dares to not be interested in a man’s advances, or dress a certain way, or go to a club/bar at night, etc. etc.

    But no, all those women crying ‘I’ve been raped’ or ‘someone tried to rape me’ to the police should just be turned away because they’re obviously lying and just feel the need to be victims.

    Thank you for proving rape culture exists with your comment.

  • Big Ern McCracken

    LMFAO

  • RDJ

    Rape culture is where women are blamed for being too friendly and not friendly enough with the men who victimize them.

  • HOC

    yea, pretty certain no one deserves to be hit in the head with a bowling ball for anything short of rape/assault/murder.
    so you suck.
    maybe you ought to learn a valuable lesson about a woman’s right to say no… oh, and being a decent human being.

  • WallyWacko

    She is very fortunate to have such minimal injuries. Its obvious she must have been a bowling pin in another life.
