4 students sentenced to probation after Longhorn incident | News

Four OSU students and fraternity members received deferred prison sentences Friday after pleading guilty to leaving a dead Longhorn on another fraternity’s lawn.

The students, Brody Shelby, Bennett Fady, Luke Ackerley and Andrew King received the order from District Court Judge Michael Kulling after five months in the court system.

Each was placed on probation until April 15, 2025 and ordered to pay a $500 fine. The specific rules and conditions of her probation include completing 200 hours of community service, undergoing a drug and alcohol evaluation and writing a 1,000-word essay.

According to mdwlawfirm.com, sentencing probation and community service obligations are considered and therefore remain on the defendant’s permanent record.

The order comes after the four students pleaded guilty to leaving a dead longhorn on the lawn in front of the FarmHouse fraternity on Dec. 1 with “F*** FH” engraved on the side. The students are members of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity.

Her case was granted two continuances after the state filed an initial criminal complaint on Dec. 28 for unlawful disposal of a carcass.
