W&J student charged in disturbances
A Washington & Jefferson College student was charged Sunday with going door to door on campus and attempting to fight with a number of fraternity brothers.
In some instances, Washington police said, the fraternity brothers had to defend themselves against Juan Nivia, 21, of Grove City, about 4 a.m. in the 100 block of Wheeling Street.
Campus police indicated they feared Nivia would injure them, too, before they took him to the campus police station and notified the city police department.
Nivia was then escorted to his dormitory. A half-hour later, police were called to similar disturbance near Mellon Dormitory, where they found Nivia covered with cuts and scrapes, court records stated.
He was taken to the ground after allegedly fighting with campus police.
Nivia was charged with simple assault, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. He was freed after posting $10,000 bond set by District Judge Mark Wilson.
