Green, a piccolo player, was arrested on misdemeanor hazing charges in
connection with the “Cross Bus C” ritual that took place after the band’s
performance at the 2011 Florida Classic. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said he
assisted Lissette Sanchez as she tried to complete the illegal ritual, which required
her to run through a charter bus as members of the percussion section
physically assaulted her.
According to an arrest affidavit written by Orange County
Detective David Phelan, “Jamon Green provided a sworn audio record statement
advising that he was on the bus during the hazing incidents on Saturday,
November 19, 2011, and helped Lissette Sanchez through the ‘cross over’ process
by pushing and pulling her towards the back of the bus.”
Green told detectives that he had crossed Bus C on Friday,
Nov. 18 and wanted to help his friend make it through the hazing process, too.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that Judge Martha Adams also
told Green that he must make “the best attempt possible” to complete his
studies and graduate from FAMU.
