He says Collar assaulted two people in vehicles and attempted to bite a woman's arm before going to police headquarters. Authorities say it was there that university police officer Trevis Austin shot Collar. The sheriff says the student wasn't armed but did physically threaten Austin. Cochran says the person who provided Collar with LSD could be charged with murder.
