the hospital where Lehrkamp was recovering. Lehrkamp said in an audio message toDuring a news conference Monday, Glynn County’s police chief and district attorney disputed many points of that narrative. Officials said Lehrkamp willingly drank alcohol with other teenagers at a neighbor’s home, noting that the peers who drove him to the hospital probably saved his life.
Police also charged a 17-year-old as an adult and two other juveniles in a separate investigation associated with Lehrkamp’s case. Investigators did not go into detail but said the charges were not related to the hazing allegations that had prompted protests. “There were a lot of things put on social media that were inaccurate,” said District Attorney Keith Higgins. “There were a lot of people with fake profiles, people not even from this area, that were putting out misinformation, hitting hot-button topics that then got other people infuriated.
On March 21, Lehrkamp attended a party at the Strothers’ home in St. Simons Island, Ga., with a group of high school students, Glynn County police said. Those teenagers later drove Lehrkamp to the Southeast Georgia Health System after he consumed vodka and antidepressants, according to police. Lehrkamp, who had spray paint on his body and hair, was unresponsive, according to a police incident report. He struggled to breathe and was put on a ventilator, police said.
