HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A Texas A&M women’s basketball player and her twin sister were arrested in May on charges of injury to an elderly person.

According to Harris County court records, Caylinne Martin and her sister Corinne allegedly caused bodily injury to a man over 65 years old by striking him during an incident late last year.

Caylinne Martin has been suspended indefinitely from the women’s basketball team. Corinne Martin once served as the team’s manager, but is set to graduate in August and is no longer with the TAMU Athletic Department.

The incident happened on Christmas Eve 2017. Police say the Martin sisters were part of a group that included at least three others. The victim said the group of five allegedly entered his apartment and struck him and his son multiple times.

During the altercation, the victim claims he was able to bite down on Corinne Martin’s thumb, drawing blood and prompting Caylinne Martin to strike him.

Police say the victims identified both Martin sisters as the attackers. Caylinne Martin has denied her involvement in the incident.

Caylinne transferred to A&M from McLennan Community College before the 2016 basketball season.

A&M basketball player, twin sister charged with taking part in home attack of 68-year-old man

Texas A&M women’s basketball center Caylinne Martin and her twin sister, Corinne, have been charged with injury to the elderly, a third-degree felony, stemming from an altercation that occurred on Christmas Eve 2017, according to Harris County court documents.

Both sisters were arrested May 25 and were released the following day, court documents show.

According to a probable cause statement, a 68-year-old man and his son were attacked in a Houston home by five people, which included the Martin sisters. During the attack, the 68-year-old man bit the thumb of Corinne Martin, causing it to bleed, the documents state.

In response, Caylinne Martin is accused of hitting the man with a closed fist to make him release from the bite before the five fled the home, states the probable cause document.

The 68-year-old man suffered a broken nose, which required treatment, according to the documents, and the injury was visible after the incident.

The attack stemmed from a previous verbal altercation between the younger victim and his stepson, centered on the cancelation of the son’s mobile phone service, the victim’s wife said.

Also named as a defendant in the attack is Moses Rayshawn Martin, brother to the twins and father to a child with a juvenile arrested in the incident. Court documents show Legista Ricardo Beckford was also charged in the attack.

According to an athletic department official, Caylinne Martin has been suspended from the basketball team indefinitely because of her arrest, per school policy. Corinne Martin is set to graduate A&M in August and is, therefore, no longer a part of the women’s basketball team, where she served as manager, according to an athletic department official.

Caylinne Martin said she was never involved with the physical altercation because she was in a car outside of the home with a 1-year-old during the time of the attack, according to her attorney Aaron Poole.

“I’m very comfortable with the fact that she was never, ever involved in any way, shape or form in a physical altercation,” Poole said. “She wasn’t even in the apartment and there is going to be, I think, multiple people to corroborate that.”

Before the 2016-17 season, Martin transferred to A&M from McLennan Community College, where she was named a junior college All-American. After a redshirt season in Aggieland, the 6-foot-3 post took to the court for the first time as a junior this year, averaging 6 minutes and 1.8 points per game while backing up senior Khaalia Hillsman. She played nine minutes during the Aggies’ three NCAA tournament games this season, scoring two points.

A former standout football player, Tariq Jackson, at Concordia Lutheran High School has been charged with raping a girl as she tried to end a relationship with him.

Tariq Jackson Charged with Rape

Jackson, 18, is facing felony charges of rape and sexual battery in Allen Superior Court after a girl reported that Jackson, who is her boyfriend, had sexually assaulted her.

According to a probable cause affidavit, the girl said that she went to Jackson’s home to break up with him on January 10. When she arrived, the pair went inside Jackson’s bedroom to talk and Jackson repeatedly told the girl he wanted to have sex with her, and the girl said she shot down, the incident report said.

At that point, the victim said Jackson got a condom, removed his clothing and hers and pulled her to the edge of the bed. The victim said Jackson then held her down and he raped her while she keeps telling him to stop, according to the police report.

The victim told an investigator that “her body went limp and that she did not do anything at that point,” the affidavit said.

Afterward, the victim said Jackson gave her a tissue and told her to clean herself up in the bathroom.

A sexual assault test was done on the girl and on her clothing to gather evidence, the affidavit said. Jackson refused to talk to the police about the incident since hiring a lawyer.

Jackson was a popular athlete at Concordia Lutheran High School. At 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, he anchored both the offensive and defensive lines for the Cadets football team. In late April, alongside his twin brother, he signed on to play football and lacrosse at Anderson University.
