Overview

• Samuel Patten and Kyle Anderson, both 18, were arrested, arraigned in Syracuse City Court, and are being held at the Justice Center Jail.
• Each faces counts of burglary as a hate crime and criminal nuisance, according to the district attorney and court filings, with DA William Fitzpatrick rejecting any suggestion it was a prank.
• Police say Patten stepped into the Zeta Beta Tau house and hurled a clear plastic bag of pork that struck an interior wall and splattered onto the floor and wall.
• Investigators report Anderson acted as the driver, dropping Patten off and picking him up in a Jeep Wrangler with a Connecticut license plate.
• Syracuse University’s Department of Public Safety helped detain the pair, the university condemned the act, and the students were referred to the Office of Community Standards for possible discipline.
