CU student accused of sexual assault while under the influence
CORRECTION: The Campus Press incorrectly quoted a friend of Wyatt’s in this story. We sincerely regret the error.
“I am eternity,” the nude Chandler Wyatt, a freshman open-option major, reportedly yelled as he entered Hallett Hall on Sept. 26, before being accused of sexually assaulting one of the residents.
At about 10:00 p.m., Wyatt, under the influence of two doses of LSD, was let into the residence by the victim, an acquaintance, according to police.
A CU Police Department report said Wyatt is being held at the Boulder County Jail on suspicion of third-degree sexual assault, indecent exposure and unlawful use of a controlled substance.
The 18-year-old Texas native reportedly started out the night with four 250 microgram doses of LSD accompanied by one of his high school friends.
After allegedly taking the two tabs, or doses, of LSD, Wyatt then went to the third floor of Hallett, where he walked into the victim’s room, according to police reports. When he was asked to leave the dorm room, he complied. Once in the hallway, however, witnesses say he grabbed onto the victim’s waist and threw her on the ground.
“Let’s do it right now,” Wyatt reportedly said.
As they saw him begin to pull her pants down, residents of Hallett attempted to restrain him. Multiple men had difficulty restraining the 5-foot-5-inch, 125-pound man.
When CUPD arrived they had to use leg restraints as well as a spit sock to control the student.
Wyatt was taken to Boulder Community Hospital and soon after was transported to Boulder County Jail.
This incident is not the only drug-related sexual assault since the start of the school year.
On Sept. 18, a CU student named Scott Pyzik, 19, was arrested on suspicion of groping several women while under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms.
