A Texas college student has been accused of pouring bleach into her roommate’s eyes during an argument. Police arrested 18-year-old freshman Brianna Esomchukwu in connection with the incident that took place at Prairie View University on March 8. Esomchukwu was booked in Waller County, the station reported, on a charge of aggravated assault. According to Prairie View University Chief of Police Keith Jemison, police initially responded to a medical call on campus and discovered 19-year-old Julisha Wyatt had bleach in her eyes and burns on her skin. Investigators later found the two roommates had gotten into a fight, during which Esomchukwu allegedly poured bleach all over Wyatt. “You never think that you’re going to get a call saying your baby, your child, has had bleach thrown in her eyes,” said Lenell Wyatt, the victim’s aunt. Wyatt is expected to make a full recovery and was released from the hospital several hours after the incident. However, some of her possessions, including a new laptop, were damaged by the bleach. School officials cited by the station said Esomchukwu’s status as a student at Prairie View is under review.“I want her roommate to be punished,” Lenell Wyatt said.
