Five Davidson College students are accused of luring a goose with bread crumbs and beating it to death with a golf club. The students are affiliated with the fraternity Kappa Sigma, whose activities have been suspended pending investigation. The students were arrested Friday and charged with felony cruelty to animals and conspiracy to commit cruelty to animals. They were taken to the Mecklenburg County jail, where they spent the night. All were released on bond yesterday morning. Davidson Police Chief John Kearin says he expects more arrests this week. Kearin says someone called police to report seeing a group of men lure the goose away from the flock, hit it with the golf club and toss it in the trunk of a car. The witness caught the car's license plate number.
