A Lyndon State College student has been removed from campus and is facing several charges.

Peter Carson, 20, is facing charges of assault, unlawful restraint, vandalism, and underage drinking after he allegedly attacked a female RHD and a public safety officer around 4:30 a.m. Saturday. When police arrived on the scene Carson was uncooperative until a K9 unit showed its presence.

Reportedly Carson has been removed from campus.

 

Jonathan Davis, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, directed all questions regarding the case to Bob Whittaker, Dean of Institutional Advancement.

Whittaker was unable to be reached for comment before publication.

Davis did say that in any case such as this one there are several steps the college takes. The student is immediately removed from campus, including all classes and campus privileges.

"That is the safest thing for us to do in those cases," said Davis. The student is then given a hearing with in 10 days of the incident.

"We would never deny a student due process," Davis said.

In addition to a hearing on campus in the coming days Carson will also appear in Caledonia County Court to answer to the charges.
