Penn State fraternity charged with giving alcohol to student injured
in fall from window
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- A Penn State University fraternity was charged
with illegally providing alcohol to a student who was severely
injured in a fall from her eighth-floor apartment window.
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity was charged Tuesday with selling or
furnishing alcohol to minors, city police Detective Joe Grego said
Wednesday. Natalie Paglione, 20, had been drinking at a TKE party
near campus before the Sept. 8 accident, authorities said.
It was unclear how she fell from the window, but police said Paglione
had a blood-alcohol level of 0.135 percent, well above the legal
limit for driving.
Paglione, of the Philadelphia suburb of Ambler, suffered back, arm
and leg injuries, and one of her kidneys had to be removed. She has
been released from a hospital.
TKE president Brad Andrew Nelson did not immediately return a call
seeking comment Wednesday. Grego said Nelson was involved in
providing the alcohol.
If convicted, the fraternity could be fined, authorities said. No
preliminary hearing had been scheduled.
