Secret Service agent charged with felonies in beatings police say were fraternity hazing
Secret Service agent and two other men have been arrested and charged with violent felonies in the Miami area, where authorities say they committed brutal beatings as part of a fraternity hazing ritual in April that left two people hospitalized with severe injuries. One of the men charged, 29-year-old Marquez Christopher Pinder, works in the Secret Service’s Miami field office and is described in an arrest warrant as a “dean of pledges” for a Miami chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. The Secret Service said it’s cooperating with investigators and has placed Pinder on administrative leave.
