WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) — Colby College President William “Bro” Adams says there’ll a “thorough and fair investigation” into student allegations of excessive force by police. And he says a third party will evaluate the results and make an independent determination.
On Tuesday, several hundred students gathered to protest the arrests of two students early on Easter Sunday after a dance on campus.
A video made by a student shows police pinning two students to the floor, and one of them is bloodied. Students say campus security and Waterville police used excessive force. They also say race may have played a role in the treatment of one of the students.
Authorities say two drunken students were arrested after they interfered with efforts to assist a student who was ill early on Easter Sunday.
