New Charges Filed In MTV Fish-Killing Case

UCSC's Midas Stolen, Killed, Eaten Last Year

March 12, 2004

LOS ANGELES -- New charges have been filed in the koi fish killing case at UC Santa Cruz.


UCSC frat boy Matthew Cox pleaded guilty Friday in Santa Cruz to misdemeanor grand theft and misdemeanor vandalism charges. He faces a maximum sentence of two years in prison.

But now, reports indicate that two more young men face the same charges in connection with the catching and killing of Midas, the prized fish at UC Santa Cruz.


The Santa Cruz County District Attorney's office said Jonathan Bermudez and Jordan Trigg were the drivers of the vehicles that went to the college to get the fish.

Midas was removed from the campus pond, killed and eaten last year during the filming of MTV's reality show, "Fraternity Life."

Bermudez was arraigned Friday and authorities are still trying to get in touch with Trigg to make him aware of the charges he faces.

A fourth man, Casey Loop, was a no show in court Friday.
