Six volunteer firefighters in Waxahachie, Texas, were arrested Monday on charges stemming from the alleged sexual assault of a trainee, Fox 4 News reports.
The alleged attack happened in January and may have been in connection with a hazing incident. The arrest warrant affidavit says the group, after failing to find a broom to assault him with, sodomized the victim with a chorizo sausage.
