There are no updates on the robbery of a cellphone that occurred on Feb. 11 and the sexual assault that occurred on Feb. 7.
Eric Latroy Brown was arrested for unrelated charges and was released the same day for lack of evidence, according to the Houston Chronicle. He was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault and a count of aggravated robbery on Feb. 12 for the incident on Feb. 7.
There is currently a warrant out for his arrest.
There is still no official response from UHPD or the University as to why Brown was released or if the officers knew he was the suspect when they arrested him.
The Cougar is closely following the investigation and will continue to update the UH community.
