WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — A white Connecticut college student has been charged with smearing body fluids on her black roommate’s belongings, and police are saying it was a bias crime. West Hartford police disclosed Wednesday that University of Hartford student Brianna Brochu, 18, was charged Saturday with misdemeanour criminal mischief and breach of peace. University President Greg Woodward said Brochu is no longer a student at the school and will not be returning. University officials said federal privacy laws prevent them from saying whether a student is expelled. The Hartford Courant reports Brochu told police she put her body fluids on her roommate’s backpack and licked her roommate’s plate, fork and spoon because she was frustrated with her roommate’s rude behaviour.
