LEWISTON, Maine (AP) A 25-year campus security officer accused of tackling a student and having him handcuffed has been fired by Bates College.

A report filed this week by an outside consultant found that Lead Campus Safety Officer Dennis Skinner failed to follow rules on use of force and “can no longer serve the institution.”

Skinner responded to a report of violations of COVID-19 and alcohol rules by first-year students on March 5. The report says he demanded the student show his ID and eventually tackled him after he attempted to leave.

The consultant is continuing to investigate the relationship between campus police and people of color. The race of the student who was tackled is not known.
