Former New Mexico State University basketball player, Terrell Brown, has been hit with additional charges in connection to a hazing scandal that rocked the university’s basketball program. Brown was previously indicted on charges of aggravated battery and aggravated burglary in relation to an incident involving a younger teammate.
The new charges against Brown include conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony and conspiracy to commit tampering with evidence, according to court documents. The charges stem from an alleged incident where Brown and other basketball players were involved in hazing rituals that resulted in the injury of a teammate. The victim reported that he was beaten and had hot water poured on his genitals during the hazing incident.
Brown was suspended from the basketball team following the initial charges and has since been dismissed from the team. New Mexico State University has condemned the actions of the involved players and has stated that hazing will not be tolerated within the basketball program.
The university has also implemented new policies and procedures to prevent hazing from occurring in the future and to ensure the safety and well-being of all student-athletes. The recent charges against Brown highlight the serious consequences that individuals involved in hazing incidents may face.
Brown is scheduled to appear in court to face the new charges, and the university is continuing to cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation. The hazing scandal has brought negative attention to the university’s basketball program, and officials are working to rebuild trust and ensure that all students are treated with respect and dignity.
