Five persons received sentences in Wood County Common Pleas Court last week in connection with the March 2021 fraternity hazing death of Stone Foltz.
County prosecutor Paul Dobson announced the following sentences:
-Daylen Dunson, president of the fraternity chapter, was sentenced to three years of community control sanctions, 21 days in the Wood County Justice Center.
-Jarrett Prizel, assistant new member educator, was sentenced to two years of community control sanctions, 28 days in the justice center.
-Niall Sweeney, vice president and resident of the fraternity house, was sentenced to two years of community control sanctions, 14 days in the justice center.
-Benjamin Boyers, sergeant-at-arms and resident, was sentenced to two years of community control.
-Aaron Lehane, resident of the fraternity house, was sentenced to two years of community control sanctions.
All the defendants received another 28 days of electronic home monitoring and 100 hours of community service.
The defendants entered guilty pleas to various charges and had cooperated with the prosecution of Jacob Krinn and Troy Henricksen, including testifying against them.
Krinn and Henricksen were earlier found guilty of counts of hazing and failure to comply with alcohol laws for underage drinkers. Krinn was also found guilty of obstructing official business.
The cases stem from a Bowling Green State University fraternity event on March 4, 2021 that involved having new members drink copious amounts of alcohol. One of the new members, Stone Foltz, drank a liter bottle of 86 proof bourbon.
Later that night, he was taken to his apartment and left unconscious by Krinn and others. He was found by a roommate later and taken to Wood County Hospital and then transported to ProMedica Toledo Hospital where he died March 7, never regaining consciousness. The Lucas County coroner ruled his death as “fatal ethanol intoxication during hazing incident.”
During the police investigation, several members lied to the police about the incident and destroyed both physical and electronic evidence of the event.
The co-defendants await sentencing; Krinn, Henricksen, and Canyon Caldwell.
Sentencing for Krinn and Caldwell was scheduled for June 24 and Henricksen is scheduled for July 29.
