Three members of Florida A&M University’s marching band have been charged with hazing a fellow member of the famous Marching 100 who took her complaints to police.
The freshman Bria Hunter suffered a cracked femur, deep bone bruising and blood clots after being beaten repeatedly on the thighs by two of her fellow students, according to arrest affidavits from Tallahassee police.
The victim, Bria Hunter, went to the hospital on November 7 — a week after her beating and nearly two weeks before the suspected hazing-related death of Robert Champion, a 26-year-old drum major for the legendary marching band. The school’s board of trustees voted last week to reprimand its president in the wake of Champion’s death, and the band’s director has been placed on administrative leave while state police investigate.
