Seven Indicted in Alleged Assault at WKU Fraternity House

A Warren County grand jury has indicted seven men in relation to a fight at a fraternity house at Western Kentucky University, according to a news release from the Kentucky Attorney General's Office.

Six of the seven defendants are WKU football players and the other is a former player.  They include Quinton Baker, Xavier Lane, Tyler Obee, Cecil Stallings, Andrew O’Bryan, Jachour Pearson, and Christopher Johnson. 

The men are accused of unlawfully entering the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house on March 5 where four of them allegedly assaulted an individual.  In a report by the Bowling Green Police Department, the victim was identified as Jerald Armfield, a Pike alumnus.  The charges against the defendants range from criminal trespass to felony wanton endangerment. 

The case is being handled by the attorney general’s special prosecutions unit after Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney Chris Cohron recused himself.
