On Monday, February 17, 56-year-old Shawn E. Seymour was arrested by Keene Police after he allegedly hit his girlfriend in the abdomen on the second floor of the Mason Library. He was charged with domestic violence simple assault, which is a misdemeanor.
According to the Keene Sentinel, the assault occurred upon the couple getting into a fight. The woman was not in need of medical assistance. Seymour was released on personal recognizance bail pending his arraignment Wednesday in 8th Circuit Court District Division. Seymour was also served a no-trespass notice from Keene State. This means he is no longer permitted to be on campus at any time.
Associate Director for Campus Safety Stuart Mitchell said that neither of the individuals involved in the assault are permitted on campus again.
“The Keene Police arrested the male subject. Both of them were trespassed from campus,” Mitchell said. “Campus Safety are first responders on all of these things.”
