4 Additional Bryant Students Charged In Assault Investigation

SMITHFIELD, RI — Four more Bryant University sutdents were charged in connection with a breaking and entering and assault on campus last Sunday.

McNeal, McBrien and Amaya were arrested on Wednesday. Amaya and McNeal were charged with breaking and entering, simple assault, disorderly conduct and conspiracy. McBrien was charged with breaking and entering and disorderly conduct. Bail was set at $25,000 personal recognizance for for Amaya, who is set to appear in court next on July 3. For McNeil and McBrien, bail was set at $1,000. They are set to appear in court on July 10.

The incident is under review by the university, who said that at this time there is no evidence that the attack was "motivated by bias."

Smithfield Police said the incident is still under investigation and additional arrested could be forthcoming. The Rhode Island Attorney General's office will be included in the investigation.
