The Oracle reported September 28, 2026 that Carson Foster, a USF junior and former Alpha Epsilon Pi president, was arrested September 15, 2026 on charges of false imprisonment, battery and battery by strangulation. The public arrest record did not provide details of the underlying allegations. He was released approximately one hour after arrest. AEPi’s spokesperson said the incident involved two USF students who were both fraternity members and that Foster was no longer a chapter officer. The university said the chapter was in good standing and did not disclose any individual conduct outcome. The underlying incident date is not established by the article; September 15 is the arrest date, not an assumed incident date. The cited report establishes an arrest and charges, not a conviction.
