Sentences for three University of Wisconsin students have been deferred after they pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in connection to a fight outside Sellery Hall in May.
The University of Wisconsin Police Department made three arrests in May in connection to a substantial battery case outside Sellery Residence Hall.
At that time, one student was cited for misdemeanor battery, while two other students were both arrested for substantial battery, according to a UWPD incident report.
On June 6, one student pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. The following month, another student pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge. In August, the third student pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of battery. All of their sentences were deferred.
In a video sent to The Badger Herald, three men were seen surrounding and attacking someone, who remained on the ground during the fight.
