Penn State wrestler faces charges after allegedly fleeing police, refusing to leave frat

Penn State wrestler Braeden Davis is facing charges after an incident at the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house on March 29. Davis, a 20-year-old sophomore, was accused of refusing to leave the property after being asked by private security. When police arrived, Davis allegedly tried to flee and resisted arrest while intoxicated, with a blood alcohol content of 0.225%. He was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment of an alcohol overdose ¹ ².

 

The charges against Davis include ³:

– *Resisting Arrest*: Davis attempted to wrestle free from the officer and damaged the officer’s wristwatch and radio earpiece.

– *Evading Arrest*: Davis tried to flee from the police officer.

– *Criminal Trespass*: Davis refused to leave the fraternity house after being asked.

– *Underage Drinking*: Davis’ BAC was above the legal limit.

– *Public Drunkenness*: Davis was visibly intoxicated in public.

 

Davis’ preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 21 before District Judge Donald M. Hahn. Penn State athletics released a statement saying they are aware of the charges and will address the situation, as the alleged actions do not reflect the values and standards of their program ² ¹.
