      A
      female
      residence
      life
      advisor
      was
      assaulted
     
     
      in
      Bernadine
      hall
      on
      Friday
      the
      18"
      after
     
     
      attempting
      to
      enforce
      the
      university’s
      drinking
     
     
      policies.
      Myanna
      Adams,
      a
      third
      year
      student
     
     
      and
      fourth
      floor
      Bernadine
      RLA
      was
      in
      the
     
     
      middle
      of
      rounds
      at
      approximately
      12:45
      a.m.
     
     
      when
      the
      altercation
      took
      place.
     
    

    
     
      According
      to
      residence
      life
      officials,
      a
     
     
      signed
      in
      guest
      was
      leaving
      Bernadine
      Hall
     
     
      through
      the
      back
      entrance
      and
      was
      seen
      on
     
     
      video
      holding
      the
      door
      open
      for
      three
      young
     
     
      males
      who
      had
      been
      drinking.
      The
      three
      males,
     
     
      none
      of
      whom
      were
      UPEI
      students,
      entered
     
     
      the
      premises
      and
      were
      drinking
      in
      the
      stairwell
     
     
      when
      Adams
      confronted
      them.
     
    

    
     
      Residence
      food
      and
      conference
     
     
      services
      manager
      Mark
      Braithwaite
      says
      when
     
     
      Adams
      asked
      the
      men
      not
      to
      drink
      in
      the
     
     
      hallway
      they
      became
      irate
      and
      when
     
     
      questioned
      about
      their
      guest
      status
      the
     
     
      situation
      became
      violent.
     
    

    
     
      “Specifically,
      one
      of
      them
      grabbed
      her
     
     
      by
      the
      arm
      and
      jammed
      it
      in
      the
      stairwell
     
     
      door,”
      says
      Braithwaite.
      “[They
      weren’t]
     
     
      going
      to
      cooperate
      with
      the
      Res
      Life
      advisor.”
     
    

    
     
      Luckily,
      two
      male
      students
      were
      in
      the
     
     
      area
      and
      came
      to
      help,
      restraining
      the
      assailant
     
     
      and
      holding
      him
      until
      UPEI
      security
      police
     
     
      arrived.
      The
      other
      two
      men
      fled
      the
      scene
     
     
      and
      the
      third
      was
      arrested
      and
      removed
      from
     
     
      the
      building,
      says
      residence
      co-ordinator
     
     
      Donald
      MacLellan.
     
    

    
     
      “The
      assaulter
      was
      arrested
      and
     
     
      removed
      from
      the
      building
      by
      UPEI
      security
     
     
      police,
      the
      other
      two
      ran
      off,”
      says
     
     
      MacLellan.
      “Later
      in
      the
      evening
      one
      of
      those
     
     
      two
      other
      gentlemen
      were
      discovered
      coming
     
     
      into
      the
      building
      and
      he
      was
      arrested
      as
      well.”

      Braithwaite
      says
      their
      staffis
      appalled
     
     
      at
      the
      actions
      of
      these
      young
      men,
      but
      are
     
     
      pleased
      with
      the
      reactions
      of
      Adams,
      campus
     
     
      police
      and
      the
      two
      students
      who
      stepped
      up
     
     
      to
      help.
      Colin
      Porter
      is
      one
      of
      those
      students.
     
    

    
     
      “It’s
      pretty
      much
      like
      what
      people
     
     
      were
      saying,”
      said
      Porter.
      “One
      guy
      grabbed
     
     
      her
      [Adams]
      and
      me
      and
      one
      other
      guy
      held
     
     
      him
      until
      security
      came.”
     
    

    
     
      After
      the
      men
      were
      removed
      from
      the
     
     
      building,
      residence
      staff
      made
      the
      decision
      to
     
     
      not
      allow
      guests
      for
      48
      hours
      to
      determine
      if
     
     
      there
      was
      any
      further
      threat
      to
      students
      and
      if
     
     
      there
      was
      a
      breach
      in
      security.
     
    

    
     
      “Our
      first
      response
      is
      OK,
      let’s
      restrict
     
     
      the
      guest
      visitation
      privilege,”
      said
      Braithwaite.
     
     
      “After
      we
      were
      satisfied
      with
      our
      own
     
     
      investigation,
      that
      it
      wasn’t
      the
      fault
      of
      anyone
     
     
      living
      in
      residence,
      it
      wasn’t
      the
      fault
      of
      any
     
     
      breach
      of
      anything
      security
      attendants
      did.
      It
     
     
      was
      just
      a
      matter
      of
      one
      person
      exiting
      the
     
     
      building
      and
      three
      people
      snuck
      in.”
     
    

    
     
      “T’ve
      been
      here
      for
      11
      years
      and
      this
     
     
      is
      one
      that’s
      new
      for
      me.
      It’s
      incredibly
     
     
      isolated,
      I’m
      appalled
      by
      the
      behaviour
      of
     
    
   
   
    
     
      these
      young
      people.
      Three
      males
      coming
      in
     
     
      and
      doing
      this
      to
      a
      female
      staff
      person?
      On
     
     
      university
      property,
      with
      security
      police
      here,
     
     
      that’s
      just
      over
      the
      top
      as
      far
      as
      we’re
     
     
      concerned.”
     
    

    
     
      According
      to
      Braithwaite
      and
     
     
      MacLellan,
      one
      of
      the
      men
      is
      being
      charged
     
     
      with
      assault,
      resisting
      arrest,
      trespassing,
      being
     
     
      drunk
      in
      a
      public
      place
      and
      illegal
      possession
     
     
      of
      alcohol.
      Court
      documents
      had
      not
      been
     
     
      processed
      at
      the
      time
      of
      publication
      and
      so
     
     
      specific
      charges,
      court
      date
      and
      name
      of
      the
     
     
      accused
      can
      not
      be
      published.
     
    

    
     
      “T
      think
      UPEI
      security
      police
      did
     
     
      everything
      by
      the
      book
      and
      exactly
      what
      they
     
     
      were
      supposed
      to
      do,
      we’re
      very
      happy
      with
     
     
      how
      they
      handled
      the
      situation,”
      says
     
     
      Braithwaite.
      “We’re
      also
      very
      happy
      with
     
     
      how
      the
      RLA
      maintained
      her
      composure
     
     
      pretty
      well
      through
      the
      whole
      thing
      and
     
     
      continued
      to
      stay
      on.
      But
      also
      how
      other
     
     
      students
      came
      forward
      and
      helped
      her
      with
     
     
      dealing
      with
      the
      situation
      and
      then
      held
      some
     
     
      of
      these
      perpetrators
      on-site
      until
      security
     
     
      came
      to
      make
      the
      arrest.”
