Rape Victim to Testify on Campus Carry Law

LAS VEGAS – The ability to carry a firearm on Nevada’s college campuses could have prevented her brutal rape, says a victim who will testify before the Senate Government Affairs Committee tomorrow in Carson City.
Reno resident Amanda Collins will tell her story to legislators who will be weighing the merits of Senate Bill 231, the “campus carry” law proposed by Sen. John Lee, D-North Las Vegas. If passed, the legislation would lift prohibitions on carrying firearms on Nevada college campuses.
Soft spoken and small in stature, Amanda Collins said she was defenseless when serial rapist and convicted murderer James Biela attacked her in a University of Nevada Reno parking garage.

Though she was a licensed gun owner with a concealed weapons permit, Collins was unarmed when Biela assaulted her less than 300 yards from a campus police office.
Earlier this summer it took a Nevada jury just six hours to convict James Biela of the rape and murder of Brianna Denison. Biela was also found guilty of three other felony charges, including the rape of a Collins in October 2007 and the rape and kidnapping of another woman a few months later.
Recounting details from the night of her attack in an interview this week, Collins said she left her classroom with a group of students at approximately 10 p.m. The students walked to a nearby parking garage and all but Collins, who had parked on the ground floor, ascended the stairs.
Collins said as she approached her own automobile, Biela grabbed her from behind and pulled her to the ground. He then put a pistol to her forehead and told her not to say anything as he clicked off the safety.
Collins stayed silent and was then raped at gunpoint, she said.
Collins said she would have been carrying her firearm and would have defended herself that night had campus rules permitted it.
“I know at some point during my attack I could have stopped it,” said Collins. “Had I been able to do so, two other rapes would have been prevented and a life could have been saved.”
Collins said she later submitted a request to the president of the university to be permitted to carry a concealed weapon on campus. The request was granted under a requirement of nondisclosure.
“Had SB 231 been the current law, my family and myself would have been saved a lot of torment,” said Collins.
“Because of the fact that I was rendered defenseless, this man was allowed to be at large and to continue to rape other women in the community, and consequently he murdered a young woman as well,” added Collins.
Gregory Brown, a history professor at UNLV, this week argued against the campus carry legislation on the UNLV Faculty Alliance website, saying the measure would “almost certainly” increase the likelihood of violent shootings on campuses.
Pointing to laws and violent incidents in other states as well as studies concluding that more guns lead to more violence on campus, Brown argued the legislation is unnecessary because data shows crime incidents are less frequent on campus than in surrounding neighborhoods. Brown said that fact along with others will be presented by Public Safety directors from NSHE campuses at Friday’s hearing.
Brown also said the law would “further damage the credibility of our already battered System of Higher Education” and that there was “no need, and much danger, inherent” in the bill.
Collins disagrees.
“If the university is going to deny individuals the right to participate in their own defense by carrying on campus, then they then assume the responsibility for ensuring the safety of every individual that steps onto that campus,” said Collins.
“And I know from my experience and from my knowledge that they are failing miserably despite their best efforts,” she said.
Collins acknowledged that lighting has been improved and more call boxes have been installed around the UNR campus and in parking garages since her attack, but she called the measures “inadequate.” She called for “a serious evaluation and discussion” about how realistic it is for universities to ensure the safety of students.
“A call box directly above my head, potentially, while I was being straddled to the ground by James Biela would not have helped me,” said Collins.
“The one equalizing factor when you’re attacked by someone much larger than you is a firearm, and that’s just the reality of it,” said Collins, who has obtained formal self-defense training in the past.
“I think that people lose sight of the fact that the only way to stop a bad person with a gun is with a good person with a gun,” said Collins.
“That is why when police respond to a call that says ‘shots fired,’ they bring their guns,” said Collins. “And while first responders are necessary, and they are good, immediate responders are better.”
Carrie Herbertson, a representative of the National Rifle Association’s lobbying arm, said Collins’ story is a compelling argument in favor of the campus carry law, and that the law as it exists makes little sense because concealed carry weapons permit holders are subject to the same standards on campus as off campus.
“What makes individuals with firearms on a campus any less or any more dangerous than off campus?” asked Herbertson.
Herbertson said concealed weapons permit holders are trained in police protocol including immediately identifying themselves and putting down their firearm when first responders arrive on a crime scene. She contends that allowing properly licensed firearms owners to carry their weapons on campus would reduce, not increase violent crimes at colleges.
“We are talking about trained, law abiding permit holders who are subject to the same standards off campus as they would be on campus,” said Herbertson.
Churchill County Sheriff Benjamin Trotter recently wrote Herbertson a letter in support of the legislation.
Washoe County District Attorney Dick Gammick, familiar with Collins case, will also submit a letter in support of the legislation to the Committee this week.

A 23-year-old unemployed Carson City woman faces multiple felony charges in connection with a series of thefts associated with paying off a drug dealer.
Bailey Michelle Wilson was arrested on Tuesday at the 3700 block of Hobart Road following an investigation in which the suspect's mother found the stolen items, including jewelry, inside a pawn shop.
Wilson faces felony charges of grand larceny, burglary, obtaining money under false pretenses and possession of stolen property. Bail has been set at $25,000.

According to the Carson City Sheriff's Office arrest report, a deputy met with the victim at the Super Pawn store, where multiple items that were stolen from her home between March 28 and April 1 were found. The victim suspected her daughter, Bailey Wilson, stole the items from her home to get enough money to pay off a drug dealer, according to the arrest report.
Super Pawn records verified that between March 29 and March 31, Wilson entered the pawn shop with the stolen items, represented the items to the store assistant manager as being her personal property and then accepted $1,365 in return, using the stolen items as collateral for a loan, according to the arrest report.
Wilson never made any payments on the account nor does Super Pawn have any records documenting that Wilson ever contacted them regarding the debt she owned, according to the arrest report.
Wilson also took 21 DVD movies to Best Pawn where she sold them to the store for $21 on Feb. 6.

The majority of DVDs recovered from Best Pawn had the victim's initials written on them.
On June 1, Carson City Sheriff's Office detectives made contact with Wilson and she was arrested.

The majority of the jewelry stolen belonged to the victim and was given to her by her mother and father, according to the arrest report.

A 24-year-old Carson City man faces a felony charge of attempting to cash a counterfeit $100 bill at a casino in the 500 block of North Carson Street.

Kevin Frederick Repass was arrested Jan. 24, at 5:32 p.m. According to a Carson City Sheriff's Office report, security at the casino detained Repass for trying to break the phony $100 bill, asking for $20 bills. He told casino security that he had received the $100 bill from another casino, the report states.

Officers read Repass his Miranda Rights and he agreed to speak. He first told officers that he had no idea the bill was counterfeit and was very surprised when he was notified, according to the arrest report.

Repass then told officers that a friend, "Derek" had given him the bill under very random circumstances, without a reason and without discussion, the report states. Repass said he thought the incident was weird but did not think too much about it, claiming he had no idea the bill was fake.

Officers asked the man why he accepted the bill without any questions and Repass said he had no idea other than a past incident where "Derek" had damaged his car. He further told officers that he thought the bill may have been meant as a payment for the incident, the report states.

The man was asked by officers why he decided to attempt to cash the bill instead of make a purchase with it. The man said he didn't know. Officers advised Repass that his story was not believable. Repass became nervous and asked to speak with the Carson City Sheriff's officer without casino security in the room. The security officer stepped out and the officer proceeded with the interview, the arrest report states.

Repass then changed his story and said he had been hanging out with a friend who he used to work with who reported that $100 was missing from his wallet and it was thought that "Derek" took the money. For whatever reason, the bill somehow wound up in his backpack, the arrest report states.

According to the arrest report, officers said Repass was nervous recounting this version of the story and was advised by arresting officers to tell the truth. He later admitted that he knew the bill was counterfeit and then further admitted to trying to cash it for real money.

He was taken to jail. In a search drug paraphernalia was found. Bail: $6,000.
