The Regina Police Service said it received a call regarding a sick or injured person outside an on-campus business.

According to the police report, a group of males engaged in an altercation that turned physical. Some individuals were treated by EMS for minor injuries, but police did not receive a complaint at the time.

The situation changed Oct. 9, when police were informed that one male who was involved in the fight had been hospitalized. On the same morning, police received a report alleging an assault causing injury.

Following an investigation, Gandire was arrested. The police report lists him as being from Vancouver, although the Rams’ website shows his hometown as Marietta, Ga.

The U of R confirmed Thursday that it was aware that a student-athlete had been charged in relation to an incident and also indicated that he had been suspended. Further comment was withheld because the matter is before the courts.

Gandire is to make his first appearance in provincial court Nov. 29.
