Ole Miss student charged in frat hazing that injured pledge By Jeff Amy - Associated Press A University of Mississippi student faces aggravated assault charges after police said he sprayed cleaner into the mouth of a fraternity pledge during a hazing ritual, causing serious internal injuries. Adam Peavy, a lawyer for the injured student, said the hazing took place at an Oct. 11 ceremony where pledges were supposed to receive fraternity pins at the Pi Kappa Alpha house in Oxford, Mississippi. “He was blindfolded and poisoned,” Peavy said. “That’s what happened.” University police charged James Bowes Higgins with aggravated assault on Nov. 17.
