The reports quote Haggard telling police the trouble began after a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon complained he’d been jumped by 12 members of a Jewish fraternity who were holed up inside an eighth-floor apartment. But once inside, the alleged attackers found four people watching TV.

“Haggard stated that as soon as they walked in, he noticed there was not 12 people in the apartment, so he knew there had been a mistake. Haggard tried to stop the group from continuing to assault the four people inside, but he stated it was impossible,” the police reports said.

The national headquarters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon has suspended the fraternity memberships of four UA students involved in the attack, calling their conduct “inconsistent with our values and expectations.”

The local chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been in and out of trouble for several years for hazing, endangerment, promoting underage drinking and other violations. The chapter is on interim suspension and facing a possible shutdown for chronic misconduct.

The UA is still investigating the recent attack. Those involved could face punishment under the university’s code of student conduct.
