Bond revoked for FSU hazing suspect after drunken bar fight

Bond has been revoked for one of the men charged with the hazing death of Florida State pledge Andrew Coffey after police say he was drunkenly fighting in a bar.

Clayton Muehlstein was booked into the Leon County jail Friday and will remain there until the June 11 disposition, according to court documents. He came to Tallahassee from Orlando to turn turned himself in. He has requested a hearing on his bond being revoked be set for Wednesday when other hearings are being conducted in the Coffey case.

State Attorney Jack Campbell called for the $2,500 bond to be revoked after the 22-year-old was issued a trespass warning from Tenn Night Club on the Tennessee Street strip on April 6.

Tallahassee Police saw Muehlstein, 22, and Ryan Lawrence push, grab and throw punches at a staff member of the club’s VIP entrance.The fight was broken up by bouncers and Muehlstein and Lawrence were put in handcuffs.

No one was hit in the fight, according to TPD records, and the staff member did not want to press charges. Muehlstein admitted to officers that he knew he was not supposed to be drinking, but the officer determined Muehlstein was intoxicated. He was reported to his pretrial officer and trespassed from the bar as well as four others owned by the same company.

On Nov. 3, Coffey, 20, died at an off-campus fraternity party. Prosecutors say he was coerced to drink excessively as part of his initiation into FSU’s Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.

Seven other fraternity members: Kyle J. Bauer, Brett A. Birmingham, Christopher M. Hamlin, Luke E. Kluttz, Anthony Oppenheimer, Anthony Petagine and John B. Ray, face felony hazing charges.
