Fourth drum major faces hazing charges

The state attorney’s office for the Ninth Judicial District of Florida announced the names of two additional individuals who face misdemeanor charges for hazing other Marching 100 students.


The two defendants are Jarrod Deas, 23 (pictured first from the right), a drum major who recently graduated, and Jamon Green, 23, a piccolo player from Orlando. According to the Orlando Sentinel, “neither is accused of contributing to Champion's death, but instead are charged with hazing two other students who suffered through rituals aboard the same charter bus where [Robert] Champion, 26, died.”

Keon Hollis and Lissete Sanchez went through the “Crossing Bus C” ritual with Robert Champion on Nov. 19 in Orlando. They survived the beatings with their lives intact while Champion was attacked so severely that he died.

Three former Marching 100 drum majors were previoulsy booked for felony hazing charges in the Champion case. They are: Jonathan Boyce, Rikki Willis, and Shawn Turner.
