JACKSONVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say more arrests have been made in the investigation of an alleged hazing incident at Jacksonville State University.

The Anniston Star reports that the new arrests bring the total to 13 in the investigation involving a Jacksonville State fraternity.

Some suspects face charges of first-degree assault, which is a felony, and misdemeanor hazing. Others face only hazing charges.

Calhoun County District Attorney Brian McVeigh announced in October that a grand jury had issued indictments stemming from a Nov. 26, 2011, incident involving a JSU fraternity and that more indictments were expected.

The fraternity, JSU's chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, has since been dismissed from campus. A university official has said that the incident was one of the worst hazing cases the school has seen.
