Story summary

Carter Eslick, a 20-year-old former Northern Arizona University (NAU) fraternity leader, received two months in jail and three years of supervised probation after being found guilty of felony hazing charges. The incident occurred on January 31, resulting in the death of Colin Daniel Martinez, an 18-year-old pledge from Delta Tau Delta fraternity, due to alcohol poisoning with a blood-alcohol level of 0.425%—over five times Arizona’s legal limit for drivers aged 21 and over. Court documents revealed that Martinez and three other pledges consumed two bottles of vodka to induce vomiting, leading to his fatal condition. Coconino County Attorney Ammon Barker emphasized the sentence's limitations in alleviating Martinez's family's pain but hoped it would raise awareness about hazing dangers and prompt preventive actions.
