CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- There are new details emerging from a mysterious incident involving members of the UNC football team. Four players were suspended after hazing allegations surfaced.
ABC11 has learned someone reported the incident to UNC campus police, but a clerical error may have kept it from becoming public knowledge.
UNC Campus Police say an incident-investigation report obtained by ABC11 is really an "administrative record," a required document for the reporting of campus crime to the federal government under the Clery Act.
It is also the first hint of a paper trail in an alleged assault involving UNC football players last month.
As first reported by the News & Observer, the names of the people involved are restricted. Also, the report initially had the wrong date and location of an alleged assault, according to Campus Police spokesperson Randy Young.
"The location showed the UNC Police Department building and the wrong date," said Young, adding that it's a new administrative process.
"The reporting officer put down when he got the information and where he got."
The report has since been corrected, reflecting the date a UNC football player was allegedly roughed up by some of his teammates at the A-Loft Hotel on Hamilton Road in Chapel Hill. The alleged incident occurred in early August, reportedly leaving wide receiver Jackson Boyer with a concussion.
Boyer's brother took to social media, blasting the university.
"UNC football is actively covering up both players involved and the extent of the violence that occurred," Cole Boyer tweeted.
Four players would eventually face a one-game suspension. The incident would not rise to the level of a criminal investigation.
UNC Campus Police say even though an assault was reported; the alleged incident happened off campus and therefore, was not in its jurisdiction.
"We're trying to be as accurate and as forthcoming as we can be in terms of putting it out to public," added Young.
Chapel Hill Police maintain it did not receive an official incident report for the alleged assault that is considered public record.
However, the Chapel Hill Police Department admits campus police did notify them about the administrative crime report.
Chapel Hill Police spokesperson Josh Mecimore says the report did not include enough information to pursue an investigation, adding the alleged victim would have to file the complaint himself in order for that to happen.
"We spoke to UNC about it. We were aware someone had reported it to UNC. Without some information to follow up on it, we can't investigate," said Mecimore, adding that the allege victim still has the option to purse a criminal investigation.
