Four frat boys are arrested after leaving a dead longhorn on the front law of ... trends now
Four fraternity members have been arrested in the case surrounding a dead longhorn placed outside a rival frat house last month.
Oklahoma State University students Bennett Fady, Luke Ackerley, Brody Shelby, and Andrew King were all arrested Wednesday, following a more than month-long investigation from college-town cops.
They each face a charge of the unlawful removal/disposal of a carcass - a misdemeanor that does not warrant jail time - and have been released on their own recognizance after pleading not guilty, records show.
The strange saga began on December 1, the eve of the Big 12 championship game.
Unsurprisingly, OSU was slated to play the Texas Longhorns - leading Fady, Ackerley, Shelby, and King to cut the particular bovine's abdomen, carve a message into it's carcass, and fasten it to the other fraternity's house porch, cops said.

'There was a significant amount of collective lack of cooperation from the Alpha Gamma Rho organization,' police noted in an affidavit, which revealed that some of the students' own fraternity brothers had been against the disturbing display.
First, though, cops described how they tracked down the owner of the longhorn - after members of the FarmHouse fraternity woke up the morning before the game to find the animal fastened to a large concrete pillar on their front porch.
Not only disemboweled, the bull was branded with the message 'F**k FH.'
After speaking with the farmer, police learned he was one of the Alpha Gamma Rho boys' uncles, and that a large party happened on the property the night before.
Police in Stillwater proceeded to speak with members of the fraternity - leading them to believe the left-behind animal was the result of an ongoing prank war between the groups, which are both recognized by the school.
Court documents show how cops in the college town came to that conclusion after conversations with members of the fraternity - as well as leadership and an advisor.
Conversations with the latter saw cops glean that several Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity members were allegedly responsible for the incident, before being met with pushback when trying to learn who was involved.
The advisor and senior members, cops wrote, refused to name the members accountable - hindering their investigation.
