The president of Fort Hays State University’s Student Government Association, Chris Roberts, was arrested early Sunday morning by Hays police.

According to Tiger Media Network, Roberts, 24, released a letter today on the FHSU SGA website informing the FHSU community of his arrest following an altercation at his home.

“I have faith in the legal process and believe the situation will be resolved justly. It is a shame the way the events of that day unfolded, and a great deal of consideration has been taken to ensure this matter is handled in the best way possible,” Roberts said.

According to the Feb. 18 Hays Police Department arrest log, Roberts was arrested at 4 a.m. Sunday in the 300 block of West 16th Street on suspicion of domestic battery. Another man, Curtis Arthur Nations, 22, was arrested in the same location at the same time on suspicion of drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

“I sincerely apologize to both the FHSU community and the Hays community, and it is my intention to move forward quickly and carefully so we can all continue our important work,” Roberts said.
