Man Cracked Girlfriend's Skull; Gets Probation

In addition to the probation, the judge in the case last week also ruled that Perry Perry avoid alcohol, stay away from the victim and the university, and complete a court-approved domestic violence treatment program. Perry was dismissed from the university as a result of the charges.
