3 FAMU Band Members Sean Hobson, Aaron Golson, and James Harris Charged with Hazing

Tallahassee police have arrested three Florida A&M members for beating a female band member severely during a hazing ritual. The woman broke her thigh as a result of the beating.

Investigators said Monday that in hazing ceremonies Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 the three struck Bria Shante Hunter's legs with their fists and with a metal ruler to initiate her into the "Red Dawg Order." It's a band clique for students who come from Georgia.

Hunter told police that days later the pain became unbearable, so she went to the hospital. It was discovered that her thigh bone was broken and that she had blood clots in her legs.

Hunter's beatings came about three weeks before FAMU drum major Robert Champion died after an alleged hazing incident during a trip to Orlando.

According to jail records, Sean Hobson, Aaron Golson, and James Harris were all charged with one count of hazing.  Hobson and Golson are also charged with one count of felony battery.
