STILLWATER, Okla –
Court documents say this was a prank war between the two fraternities, and the longhorn was already dead of natural causes before it was branded and dropped off at Farmhouse.
Stillwater Police say Bennett Fady, Luke Ackerley, Brody Shelby, and Andrew King now face misdemeanor charges of unlawful disposal of a carcass.
The affidavit says the four men dumped the dead longhorn on the lawn of the FarmHouse fraternity on December 1st.

It says video surveillance from FarmHouse shows three people tying a strap around the porch pillar, and a fourth person pulling the truck away, and the longhorn falling off the trailer.
Investigators say that the longhorn came from the property of a family member of a separate AGR member.
They say the four had borrowed someone’s truck to haul the longhorn, and the owner of that truck said he didn’t know what it was going to be used for.
Investigators served a search warrant at the AGR house to get video from the time of the incident but say a large portion of surveillance video was missing from around that time.
