One person has been arrested and Richmond police are searching for two others on charges of assault in a fraternity hazing investigation at Eastern Kentucky University.

Brent Whiteside, a 23-year-old student, was hospitalized in March for injuries he said he received during hazing while he was a candidate for admission into the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.

Richmond police arrested 21-year-old Thomas Barnes on June 18 and are searching for 22-year-old Gabriel M. McLaren and 32-year-old Alonzo C. McGill.

Police spokesman Willard Reardon said all three are charged with fourth-degree assault.

University spokesman Marc Whitt said the chapter of the historically black Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity is still suspended from the national organization, as well as the university.
