Police have charged three University of Georgia fraternity members after a skinned coyote carcass, several raccoon heads and other grisly animal remains were left on the front porch of a rival fraternity house last month.
Brothers Carson Smith, 19, and Jackson Smith, 20, were arrested on misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass and cited for improper disposal of a carcass. Conner Dunahoo, 19, was cited for improper disposal.
The three are accused of driving the animal parts to the Chi Psi fraternity house the night of Feb. 6 and leaving them on the front porch, where they were discovered the next morning.
A skinned canine, which a state game warden later determined to be a coyote, was found along with three skinned raccoon heads, according to police. Two dead rats, several pairs of raccoon feet and a “variety of entrails” were also left on the porch as well as multiple bloody latex gloves.
Athens-Clarke County animal control was called in to collect the carcasses and other materials.
