BEIJING, Nov. 8(Xinhuanet)-- Two Carolina Panthers cheerleaders were charged after their arrest over having sex in a restroom and fights.

Renee Thomas, 20, of Pittsboro, N.C., and Angela Keathley, 26, of Belmont, N.C., were taken to Hillsborough County Jail.

It all began early Sunday when customers at a Tampa nightclub complained that the two cheerleaders were engaged in sexual activity in a bathroom stall, according to police. A fight followed and police arrested the two women.

Thomas was charged with battery after allegedly striking a bar patron when she was leaving the restroom.

Renee Thomas, a UNC Charlotte student, was also charged with using the driver's license of fellow cheerleader Kristen Owen. Thomas could face up to a year in prison on that charge, and is also charged with punching a third woman in the face.
