On this day, three was a crowd.

Until Sunday, 35-year-old Carla Ramson lived in an apartment in southwest Atlanta with two men she identified as her husband and live-in boyfriend, according to an Atlanta police report.

Both men were arrested after they got into a fight at their apartment in the 2900 block of Third Avenue, possibly because one got jealous of the other.

The husband, Tracy Lee, 25, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and battery, and he was released Tuesday from the Fulton County Jail on $25,000 bond.

The boyfriend, Michael Reed, 21, is facing two felony charges, including aggravated assault. He, too, got out of jail Thursday after posting $35,000 bond.

The incident happened at 11:30 a.m. Sunday.

Ramson told police that she and husband Lee were having sex in her bedroom, while Reed was sitting in the living room, the report said.

Apparently that didn’t sit well with Reed. He got angry and demanded that Ramson and Lee let him in the bedroom, the report said. Reed somehow got into the bedroom and pushed Lee, the woman told police.

Lee returned the favor, pushing Reed onto a table lamp, the report said.

Reed then picked up a glass vase and hit Lee in the face, Lee told police.

Lee retaliated by getting a knife and trying to stab Reed several times, Reed told police.

When police arrived, Reed was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for injuries, and both were eventually taken to jail.

When reached by phone Thursday afternoon, Ramson said that both men no longer lived there and she wasn’t going to worry about it. But she said she couldn’t talk because she had company over, and she asked a reporter to call her later.

She could not be reached later.
