Source: Greggory DiSalvo / GettyFederal authorities are charged with protecting the public, but a Secret Service agent recently abandoned that duty to take part in a fraternity hazing ritual so brutal that prosecutors say it nearly turned deadly for men who wanted to become members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. According to NBC News, 29-year-old Marquez Christopher Pinder, a Secret Service agent assigned to the agency’s Miami field office, has been charged alongside two other men in connection with what investigators describe as a series of savage fraternity hazing beatings involving canes and paddles. The Secret Service has placed Pinder on administrative leave while the criminal case moves forward, saying it is cooperating with investigators and will address any misconduct after the judicial process concludes.
