COLUMBIA | Two University of Missouri students have been arrested on suspicion of hate crimes after cotton balls were scattered outside the Black Culture Center.
Campus police arrested a 19-year-old freshman and a 21-year-old senior Tuesday night based on an anonymous tip. The two men face possible charges of felony tampering and have been suspended from school.
The freshman suspect is from Kearney and a Naval ROTC midshipman. The senior is from St. Louis. The Associated Press is not identifying them by name because criminal charges have not been filed.
The Feb. 26 incident during Black History Month sparked widespread concern on the 30,000-student campus. A Monday night town hall meeting at the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center drew an overflow crowd of several hundred students and administrators.
