Former University of Hartford student Brianna Brochu, 18. (West Hartford Police Department/AP)A former student at the University of Hartford has been charged with criminal mischief and breach of peace after bragging online about contaminating her roommate’s belongings with bodily fluids, including rubbing dirty tampons on her backpack and putting her toothbrush “places where the sun doesn’t shine.”Eighteen-year-old Brianna Brochu appeared in court Wednesday. Authorities told the Courant that Brochu, who is white, also faces a hate-crime charge stemming from the alleged actions against her roommate, who is black. “Acts of racism, bias, bullying, or other abusive behaviors will not be tolerated on this campus. “We must strive every day to practice understanding, tolerance, inclusion, and grace,” he said.
