Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Four fire rescuers in Florida were arrested on multiple charges after an alleged waterboarding-related hazing ritual turned violent, deputies said.
The four employees in the Marion County Fire Rescue unit were arrested for the alleged waterboarding incident after sheriff's deputies responded to Fire Rescue Station 21 in Ocala, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Officials said the incident allegedly took place Nov. 16. The unidentified victim reportedly was in the middle of performing his duties, at which point Tate Trauthwein, a 19-year-old co-worker, threw the victim's boots into a wooded area.
Edward Kenny III, 22, reportedly tried to grabbed the victim from behind and both fell.
