Five Bowling Green State University students were sentenced Thursday in a Wood County court in the 2021 hazing death of Stone Foltz, 20, of Delaware.
Foltz, a 20-year-old sophomore from Delaware, was rushing the fraternity in early 2021. As part of the pledging process, Foltz attended a "Big Little Night" initiation event March 4, 2021, during which he drank a liter of Evan Williams Bourbon. He died several days later of fatal alcohol intoxication.
Niall Sweeney, 21, of Erie, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to felony tampering with evidence and hazing. He was given a two-week sentence in jail, 28 days of house arrest and two years of probation. The jury found them not guilty of several more severe felony charges including involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide and felonious assault., 21, of Dublin, was convicted on one count of obstructing justice and eight counts of misdemeanor hazing.
Foltz's parents, Shari and Cory, said after today's sentencings that while this may be the conclusion for the men who were convicted, there will be no closure for their family until hazing is eradicated from college campuses.
