Later, police say Simon was riding his bike and was confronted by McGlasson and Britton. They say the two assaulted Simon, causing the bicycle to crash into a concrete wall and Simon to hit his head. Police say there may be more arrests.
The chancellor at Stout says McGlasson, a freshman, was recruited from Alaska to play hockey. He says Britton, who’s from Saskatchewan, has played three years for the hockey team. They are scheduled for a bond hearing Friday
