20-year old Dale Merza, a Central Michigan University student, is facing hazing charges for allegedly smearing peanut butter on the face of a classmate with a severe peanut allergy.

The student's mother said her son passed out at a fraternity house when peanut butter was rubbed on his face back in October.

Merza has pleaded not guilty but his attorney says his client will be found innocent once the facts come out.
