Exclusive: Dartmouth’s hazing whistle-blower has a rap sheet

The whistle-blowing student who tarred Dartmouth College for ignoring fraternity hazing partied so hard he has criminal convictions for disorderly conduct and drug possession, The Daily has learned. 

Andrew Lohse, 21, a senior English major at Dartmouth College, landed himself on the national stage after penning an opinion column Jan. 25 in the school newspaper about the prestigious school turning a blind eye to a “culture of physical and psychological abuse.”

But criminal affidavits acquired by The Daily reveal that Lohse pleaded guilty to a cocaine rap and later was fined for throwing a chair at a police officer during a drunken episode on campus.
