A Connecticut college student was charged Wednesday with smearing body fluids on her roommate's belongings in a form of extreme bullying that police called a bias crime.
Brianna Brochu, 18, was initially charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief and breach of peace, but West Hartford Police told FOX 61 they asked the judge to add a felony bigotry charge.
Brochu admitted 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 behavior, police said.
University of Hartford President Greg Woodward said in a statement Wednesday that Brochu's conduct was "reprehensible" and she is no longer a student at the school. More
