Fraternity brothers arrested for forcibly removing door to housemother’s room
Four Sigma Chi fraternity brothers were charged after they forcibly removed the door to their housemother’s room.
In late July, LSUPD identified Christopher Young, 23, Max Garcia, 22, Matthew Palmer, 22, and David Songy, 22, as the four suspects in the case after a photo on social media showed the fraternity members sitting in their housemother’s room.
They then obtained arrest warrants for Young, Garcia and Palmer and booked them into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
Songy was the last of the four fraternity members to be arrested Aug. 21 for unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling.
Songy is not enrolled at the University; however, at the time of the incident, all four were students.
