Five Eastern Idaho Students Charged After Tossing Caustic Fluid

Police have cited five college students for tossing plastic bottles filled with caustic liquid over the fence of an apartment complex and hitting one man in the face on the Brigham Young University-Idaho campus in Rexburg. The Rexburg Standard Journal reports 19-year-old Christopher M. Kiernan, Jr. and 18-year-olds Danny M. Scaife, Cody Weaver, Austin K. Chapman and Brandon M. Sharkey were each cited earlier this month for disturbing the peace. All five suspects are students at Brigham Young University in southeastern Idaho. Police say the liquid was thrown over the fence at a campus residence hall on Oct. 25 and splashed one man in the face. He was treated by paramedics, who administered first aid and were able to prevent injuries to the man's face.
