Delta Chi recieves dead pig in prank

A dead javelina with a piece of paper stuck in its bloody mouth was lying on a table near the front door of the house, 1701 E. First St., police reports stated.

The man called university police at 12:58 a.m. and said the delivery must have happened between 12:30 a.m. and 12:50 a.m., reports stated.

According to police reports, the note in the dead wild pig's mouth stated, "You could be next Troy Googins," directed toward the fraternity chapter's president. Googins told police he knew of nobody who was angry with him or anyone else with a motive to leave the dead animal, reports stated.

An Arizona Game and Fish Department official told police that the agency was not responsible for the animal's disposal, and suggested the residents throw the body into a Dumpster.

Javelina hunting season ends today, an Arizona Game and Fish spokeswoman said yesterday.

Jody Burns, a Pima County Animal Control official, said javelina are common within city limits because people feed them, and that the carcass could have been roadkill.

Googins and other Delta Chi members could not be reached for comment yesterday.

On Feb. 26, 1996, members of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity discovered a dead Holstein calf stuck in the chimney of their house, 638 E. University Blvd.
