ANN ARBOR, MI - Three people are charged and arraigned in connection with the assault of a University of Michigan student near campus.

Alexandra Marie-Fox Tincher, Troy Silas and Jabarrow D. Bentley were charged in Washtenaw County 15th District Court related to the incident reported in the early morning hours of May 17 on South University Avenue at East University Avenue.

Tincher was arraigned Friday, May 19, on charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, a felony, and assault and battery, a misdemeanor.

She remains jailed on a $100,000 cash bond and is scheduled for a probable cause conference June 1.

Silas was arraigned Tuesday, May 23 on a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery. He is lodged in the Washtenaw County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond and is scheduled to appear in court June 14 for a pre-trial conference.

Bentley was arraigned Friday on a misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault. He'll appear in court July 26 for a pre-trial conference.

At 1:30 a.m. May 17, two women approached a student near the West Hall Arch on South University Avenue and began punching her, according to UM's Division of Public Safety and Security.

A man on a bicycle attempted to intervene when a man with the two attacking women confronted him, police say.

Another man approached the bicyclist from behind and knocked him unconscious, and one of the two attacking woman kicked him in the head, according to police. All four suspects then left the scene and walked toward the Diag.

Police subsequently arrested four people in connection with the incident and prosecutors authorized charges against all of them. The fourth suspect has not yet been arraigned, according to UM.

Prior to his arrest, Silas said the incident was a misunderstanding.

He said he saw a female student being attacked by a man, and he and his friends intervened to help her. The student then attacked two of his friends, Silas said, and he tried to break things up.

An unknown person knocked down the student's assailant, he said. Silas's girlfriend, Tincher, kicked him because she was scared he'd get up and attack her, he said.

Silas and his friends then walked away and called 911, he said.

"I don't like it being made out like we were trying to cause trouble," he said. "It was all a misunderstanding. We felt someone needed help. I feel terrible. (Tincher) doesn't deserve this."

UM Police have not released further information about the incident.
