Police arrested four people after a 19-year-old landed in the intensive care unit for blacking out at a house party on St. Simons Island, Georgia, on March 21, authorities say.

Police charged Carlton Strother, 46, and Lauren Strother, 56, with maintaining a disorderly house and contributing to the delinquency of minors, News4JAX reported Monday. Police arrested two other teenagers, charging them with misdemeanors, including simple battery and criminal trespassing.

District Attorney Keith Higgins said at a news conference Monday that Trenton Lehrkamp, 19, voluntarily became intoxicated and eventually blacked out, then asked to be washed off with a hose after an egg fight, News4JAX reported. Higgins addressed false rumors that were circulating on social media, saying Lehrkamp had not been beaten, choked or tortured, that no one poured acid down his throat, and that he is not autistic, according to the outlet.

“Just a lot of misinformation out there with regards to the specific acts that were done that were very vile in nature,” Higgins said at the press conference. “Even if they had been committed they still would have been simple batteries, under the definition of that. But still vile in allegations of urination and defecation and allegations that he was forced to drink which are simply not true.”

The three teenagers who then dropped Lehrkamp off at the emergency room “quite probably saved his life,” Higgins said. His clothes were covered in urine, his shoulder was bruised and there was spray paint all over him, News4JAX continued, citing a separate report.

Reports initially circulated March 28 that Lehrkamp had been a hazing victim, according to the outlet.

Days before the alleged incident occurred, a female teenager told police she had been assaulted at the same home, Fox News Digital reported, citing a police report. Her mother had called Glynn County Police Department to notify officers of the attack.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
