San Marcos police responded to calls at about 10:40 p.m. on October 20, 2026, and reportedly arrested four Phi Delta Theta pledges the next day, including 18-year-old Wyatt Carr. Witnesses reported several men forcing an active member into a blue pickup while he yelled for them to let him go; those involved allegedly told officers it was "a tradition." Court records reportedly show each was charged with misdemeanor hazing (a Class B misdemeanor per The University Star) and given a magistrate warning. These are arrest allegations, not convictions; no later case outcome was verified in the cited reporting.
