Four SDSU fraternity members charged after one of them is set on fire
Four members of a San Diego State University fraternity have been charged after one of them, a 19-year-old pledge, was set on fire during a party, the District Attorney’s Office said.
The members of Phi Kappa Psi were charged with at least one felony each, including recklessly causing a fire with great bodily injury, conspiracy to commit an act injurious to the public and violating the social host ordinance, prosecutors said.
The fraternity’s 22-year-old president, a 20-year-old pledge board member and a 20-year-old pledge were charged in connection with the incident, prosecutors said. The pledge who was set on fire was also charged.
They pleaded not guilty Monday during an arraignment in San Diego Superior Court. Prosecutors said that if the defendants are convicted of all the charges, they could face probation of up to seven years and two months in prison.
