The Hanover Police Department has issued arrest warrants for three suspects following a report of fraternity hazing, the Department announced in a press release today.
According to the release, a Dartmouth student reported that he was struck with a wooden paddle, forced to eat an onion — causing him to vomit — and “pressed to eat the regurgitated onion” after pledging for membership with Theta Beta Beta fraternity, a local chapter of the national Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. The student, who reported the alleged hazing on Sept. 24, “had visible injuries,” the release stated.
In an interview with The Dartmouth, Lieutenant Mike Schibuola said there were “other activities” but those included in the statement were “major” and “recurring.” He added that the student’s injuries were “consistent with what was reported.”
After learning of the allegations, the College alerted authorities and suspended Omega Psi Phi, College spokesperson Jana Barnello wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth.
“This suspension remains in effect pending the outcome of an ongoing internal investigation,” Barnello wrote. “Any student or organization found to have violated Dartmouth policies is held accountable. Due to federal law, we cannot comment on individual disciplinary cases or outcomes.”
Theta Beta Beta member Alexisius “Q” Jones ’25, Gregory Dominique, 38, and Milan Williams ’09 were issued arrest warrants on Nov. 4 on Class B misdemeanor charges of student hazing, according to Schibuola and the Hanover Police statement. Jones, a running back for the Big Green football team, was issued a summons on Nov. 19 to appear in Lebanon District Court, the Valley News reported.
According to the Hanover Police release, warrants remain outstanding for Dominique — who did not attend the College — and Williams, both “graduate” members of Omega Psi Phi. Williams graduated Dartmouth in 2009 and was a member of the football team, according to the Dartmouth Sports website. Dominique has “no known connection” to Dartmouth, according to a College spokesperson.
The student hazing charge may result in a fine of up to $1,200 and does not include prison time, Schibuola said. He explained that warrants remain outstanding for Dominique and Williams — who were both in Hanover at the time of the alleged events — because they have not turned themselves in and do not reside in New Hampshire. The alleged incidents occurred “primarily” in August and September 2024, the release stated.
Schibuola said no other victims have come forward. The Hanover Police investigation remains ongoing, according to the release.
