In the wake of a second-degree murder charge against third-year College student Andrew Robert Alston, University officials Saturday issued him an immediate interim suspension.
The suspension is the result of the criminal charges brought against Alston and is in accordance with the University's standards of conduct, according to an official University statement released yesterday.
Charlottesville District Judge Stephen Helvin yesterday set Alston's preliminary hearing for Jan. 15.
Alston, who is in custody at the Charlottesville/Albemarle Joint Security Complex, did not ask for bond.
Alston allegedly stabbed to death local firefighter Walker Andrew Sisk, 22, early Saturday morning near the intersection of 14th and Wertland Streets.
