 State police have charged six University of Connecticut students with alcohol-related offenses in connection with the October death of student Jeffny Pally, who was killed when she was run over by a UConn Fire Department vehicle. State police said the students charged were involved in hosting an off-campus party at a house affiliated with Kappa Sigma fraternity that Pally, 19, of West Hartford attended prior to the fatal incident. The fraternity that the men were members of, Kappa Sigma, has recently lost its recognition on campus for sanctions unrelated to Pally’s death. Those charged were: 
 
 Patrick Callahan, 21, Matthew Moll, 21, and Dylan Morose, 22, all of 51 Baxter Road, Mansfield; each charged with eight counts of permitting a minor to illegally possess alcohol. Austin Custodio, 21, of Boyce Road, Pine Bush, N.Y.; sale or delivery of alcohol to minors. Dominic Godi, 21, of Meadow Road, Bolton; charged with conspiracy to commit sale or delivery of alcohol to minor. Jonathan Polansky, 22, of Sherman Street, Beverly, Mass., charged with eight counts of permitting a minor to illegal possess alcohol. All were released from custody without having to post bail and are to be arraigned March 8 at Superior Court in Rockville. In addition, in October UConn police charged two students with larceny and two counts of criminal mischief in connection with the alarm that firefighters responded to when Pally was killed. According to police, 20-year-old Jacob San-Juan and 19-year-old Michael Vaz stole a fire extinguisher from the Gant Science Building and set it off on the fourth floor of Russell Hall, a dormitory within the Northwest Residence Halls. State police said Pally was struck and killed by the fire department vehicle as it responded to an alarm at 1:13 a.m. on Oct. 16. Jeffny Pally, 19, was sitting on the ground with her back against the outside of the fire station door. When the door went up for officials to respond to the call, Pally fell back and was hit by a UConn Fire vehicle. UConn sent News 8 the following statement: 
 
 Jeffny Pally was a talented, ambitious, promising young woman and her death was a terrible tragedy. "The entire university community joins her family and friends in continuing to mourn her loss." All six students charged on Friday are currently enrolled at UConn, Reitz said, but she noted that students who have violated provisions of the student code may face penalties ranging from probation to expulsion. The fraternity referenced in the arrest warrant affidavit, Kappa Sigma, recently lost its UConn recognition and housing based on off-campus incidents in September and October. Kappa Sigma's national office also has revoked the local group's charter, she said.
– A freak accident left the University of Connecticut reeling in October; now, six arrests may have it reeling once more. Jeffny Pally was sitting up against a garage bay door at a fire station near her dorm on the Storrs campus around 1:15am when the door opened as fire crews responded to a call. The 19-year-old sophomore fell back and was struck by a Chevy Tahoe leaving the firehouse. Why she chose to sit in front of the bay remains unknown, but police say they've pieced together what allegedly happened in the hours beforehand. On the evening of Oct. 15, Pally attended a party at the Kappa Sigma fraternity that revolved around building a homecoming parade float; now six frat members have been charged with alcohol-related offenses related to Pally's death, reports the Hartford Courant. Pally arrived around 10:30pm and stayed about two hours, during which witnesses say she had one to five beers; she reportedly drank prior to the party, and her blood alcohol content was .25. Patrick Callahan, Matthew Moll, Austin Custodio, and Dominic Godi, all 21, and Dylan Morose and Jonathan Polansky, 22, face varied charges tied to allegedly purchasing and transporting the booze and permitting a minor to illegally possess alcohol. Their arraignment is set for March 8. The 60-year-old shift commander who drove the Tahoe told police he did feel a bump as he exited, but assumed what he saw in his rearview mirror was fire equipment. Pally's body was discovered upon the fire crew's return to the station for what WTNH reports was a false alarm sparked after two students allegedly set off a stolen fire extinguisher in a dorm. They face criminal mischief and larceny charges. (Last year, a court ruled that parents could be held responsible for underage drinking.)
