Police at the University of Vermont say they’ve cited four people over an apparent hazing incident involving the college’s sailing club.
The club was suspended two weeks ago amid allegations that underage members were required to consume alcohol, but the citations were announced Thursday.
Cited into Vermont District Court on Dec. 22 on a misdemeanor – enabling consumption of alcohol by a minor – were 20-year-old Alexander G. Culbertson, 19-year-old Mark J. Dougherty, 19-year-old Sara C. Frantz and 21-year-old Catherine N. Solvig.
The suspension means the sailing club can’t compete in the Atlantic Coast Championships, being held this weekend in Geneva, N.Y.
