Friday, May 9 3 a.m. A Resident Assistant in Smith Hall heard commotion coming from the third floor of the building and discovered a student that had been assaulted. Officers met with the 18-year-old female student, who was holding ice to her lip.

Later that night, the victim left to go down the hall where the other female resident was waiting for her, pushed her against the wall and punched her.
