TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - Five University of Alabama fraternity members, including one from North Texas, have been arrested in Tuscaloosa on charges of hazing.
Of those arrested, Colter Anderson is from Dallas and John Buckley is from Houston.
Authorities say the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity members several weeks ago made pledges stand in buckets of ice and salt, a combination which led to burns on the pledges' feet.
School spokesman Chris Bryant said the arrests Wednesday followed a thorough joint investigation by the University of Alabama Police Department and the UA Office of Student Conduct.
Bryant says the students have also been placed on unspecified interim sanctions.
