Bethune-Cookman reopens case on hazing complaint

Dr. Trudie Kibbe Reed
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- The Bethune-Cookman University president is going to reopen a case involving a complaint of hazing against a band member in August.

Trudie Kibbe Reed said Friday she's taking the now former student's complaint "very seriously" and if there needs to be further inquiries into the Marching Wildcats -- "it will be done."

"The last thing I want to do is send a kid home in a coffin. I just won't do it," Reed said Friday, referring to the death of a drum major last month at Florida A&M University amid hazing allegations.

University officials confirmed media reports that student Christopher King made a complaint that he had been hazed by fellow band members.
