Florida fire and rescue employees arrested after 'violent hazing incident,' officials say

Four Marion County Fire and Rescue employees were arrested in connection with a "violent hazing incident" that included allegedly waterboarding a 19-year-old co-worker, the county's sheriff's office said in a news release.

“A small group of employees treated the firehouse like a frat house,” Marion County commissioner Carl Zalak said Wednesday. “The behavior is absolutely disgraceful, disrespectful, and it will simply not be tolerated.”

On Wednesday, detectives from the office's major crimes division arrested Edward Kenny III, 22; Seth Day, 22; and Tate Trauthewein, 19, on charges of kidnapping, robbery and battery, the sheriff's office said in the release.

Kaylee Bradley, 25, was also arrested on charges of robbery and principal/accessory to robbery, according to the release.

What kind of sick minds would do this?
Those that knew of this or didn't step in to stop it or report need to be terminated also.

Any others who knew of this but didn’t report it should lose their jobs.
