An LSU student faces criminal hazing charges.

"LSU Police have conducted a thorough investigation into the activities of Phi Kappa Psi, and today a member of the fraternity, Terry Pat Reynolds II, was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for Criminal Hazing (Felony and Misdemeanor) and Failure to Seek Assistance," said LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard.

"The university has stated on multiple occasions that hazing will not be tolerated and the university acts swiftly when any hazing allegations are brought forth," said Ballard. "Now that the LSU Police investigation has led to an arrest, the university’s office of Student Advocacy & Accountability will also conduct an investigation regarding any possible Code of Student Conduct violations."

LSU suspended the Phi Kappa Psi chapter after a student ended up in the hospital.

Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore told The Advocate that it looks "unbelievably similar" to the case of Max Gruver, and LSU freshman who died from alcohol poisoning in a hazing incident in 2017.
