Officials say a reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest. Eric Earnhart reports. That's what police found when they raided the DEKE house Friday night. But they're afraid high profile arrests like those at DEKE house will hurt the image they're working to improve. Police working nightshift in Blacksburt say now, they don't get many calls about legitimate Tech fraternity parties.
Police say the real problem comes from private, off campus parties.
They want to send a message that underage drinkers at those parties can and will be arrested. More than a year ago, fire destroyed another Tech fraternity house. Lacking scientific proof of arson, Prosecutor Skip Schwab says the plea agreement was appropriate. Niemi has made restitution of 15- thousand dollars to the fraternity and five individuals. If Niemi stays out of trouble for two years, the charge will be dismissed.
