Assault and Battery

On Jan. 11 a woman swimming in the pool at the Health and Fitness Center on campus reported that another swimmer, male, brushed up against her in the pool between 9:30 and 9:45 a.m.. She said the touch was not sexual nor was she injured, but she wanted to report it to the police. The woman said the touch was intentional and the man said it was an accident. WCC public safety officials were not on campus at this time because of winter break so a Washtenaw County officer was called.
