The woman charged with assault for allegedly throwing a beverage at Mayor Rob Ford is a university employee, who also teaches yoga and won awards in high school.
Shannon Everett, 27, was charged Saturday afternoon at the Taste of Little Italy event. Witnesses said the woman involved looked extremely upset after the alleged incident, which paid-duty officers were quickly alerted to.
On Monday, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology confirmed that Everett is an employee at the Oshawa institution, where she’s listed as having worked since 2008 as a multimedia developer in the teaching and learning centre.
“I’ve been able to ascertain that she’s the same person that’s involved in this particular incident,” said Murray Lapp, UOIT vice-president of human resources and services.
“We’ll be talking to her, we’ll be having to make an assessment of what we do,” Lapp said, adding that would be private and the situation “is between her and the courts.”
Lapp added Everett “absolutely” is still an employee there and “she’s done good work for us in the past.”...................
