Who Is Brianna Brochu? Student Who Smeared Used Tampons On Black Roommates Bag Arrested [View all]
BY JOE DIFAZIO ON 11/01/17 AT 10:00 AM
A University of Hartford freshman was arrested Saturday following weeks of alleged abuse of her roommate, including rubbing a used tampon on her bag.
Brianna Brochu, 18, of Harwinton, Connecticut, was charged with two misdemeanors: second-degree breach of peace and third-degree criminal mischief. Brochu was released without bail according to the Hartford Courant. Her arraignment is Wednesday.
The university said it was investigating the matter.
“Upon learning of the incident, Public Safety immediately ensured that the victim was relocated to a safe location, notified local authorities, and provided support for their investigation. The accused student was subsequently arrested by the West Hartford Police Department and her case will proceed through the legal process. The University will continue to precisely execute our defined process outlined in the Code of Student Conduct,” the school said in a statement.
Brochu bragged about what she did to her roommate, Chennel Rowe, on her Instagram after she moved out. Brochu, who is white, called Rowe, who is black, “Jamaican Barbie.”
“Finally did it yo girl got rid of her roommate!! After 1 1/2 month of spitting in her coconut oil, putting moldy clam dip in her lotions, rubbing used tampons [on] her backpack, putting her toothbrush places where the sun doesn’t shine and so much more I can finally say goodbye Jamaican Barbie,” wrote Brochu.
