Complaint Investigation Report

Per R1, R1 was in R1’s room with Administrator when Administrator began yelling at R1 to return the Playstation 4 because it was too expensive. R1 stated that Administrator stood in the doorway and would not let R1 leave. R1 tried to evade Administrator and Administrator began trying to wrestle the Playstation 4 from R1’s arms. When R1 moved past Administrator and was in front of Administrator’s office, Administrator and another resident, R2, pinned R1 on the ground by placing their knees on R1’s back.
