Ole Miss student allegedly sprayed bleach into frat pledge’s mouth during hazing

A University of Mississippi student is facing aggravated assault charges for allegedly spraying cleaning liquid down the throat of a frat pledge during a hazing ritual.

"He was blindfolded and poisoned," the attorney, Adam Peavy, told the Associated Press. "That’s what happened." University police on Nov. 17 charged James Bowes Higgins with aggravated assault. A witness told Ole Miss cops that the pledges had their eyes covered with their neckties and were made to sit in a hallway, according to a police report.
