The University of Mississippi Police Department arrested five Pi Kappa Alpha members Friday on charges of hazing, larceny, and assault, the Daily Mississippian reports. Tucker Cole Steil, James Declan Basile, Christian Guy, Kyle Hughes, and Austin Rice allegedly assaulted Sigma Pi member Jeremy Boyle outside the Sigma Pi house October 6.

According to the Clarion-Ledger, Boyle heard a noise outside his house and "went outside to investigate" where he was allegedly then attacked by the five men.

Boyle was taken to the Baptist Medical Hospital for treatment of a concussion, ruptured eardrum, and broken teeth. Boyle's grandfather Robert told WAFB the men "descended upon [Boyle] and beat him unmercifully. Beat him within an inch of his life." He also said his grandson suffered a bruised lung, bruised ribs, and a bruised groin.

The university police referred all questions about the attack to Ole Miss spokesman Danny Blanton, who said he did not know whether the school would issue a statement. According to the Daily Mississippian, the university has a zero-tolerance policy for hazing, which only Basile was arrested for.

Despite the arrests, Local Memphis reports the university will take no disciplinary action against the men involved unless they are actually convicted of a crime. For now, they are all still enrolled as students at Ole Miss.
