The former UConn fraternity president, David Vallejo, who was previously charged with assaulting a student during

the pledging process, is now facing accusations of assaulting another student during a dispute over money, as per a UConn police arrest warrant.

According to the warrant, Vallejo, 23, allegedly choked and threatened the other student while they were in a vehicle

after the victim refused to repay Vallejo $500. Vallejo surrendered to police on Tuesday and was charged with third-degree assault, third-degree strangulation, and disorderly conduct.

Vallejo had previously been arrested by State Police for an incident at an off-campus residence in Willington, where he allegedly assaulted and choked another student who was pledging to the fraternity.

Vallejo covered the fee for the victim, although the latter stated he never requested Vallejo’s assistance, as per the warrant.

That evening, the victim met Vallejo in the parking lot behind his dorm, where Vallejo inquired about the repayment

of the amount. The victim explained that he didn’t feel obligated to repay because he hadn’t fully committed to the fraternity and hadn’t solicited help with the fee, the warrant details.

According to the warrant, Vallejo grew agitated, raised his voice, and leaned over the car’s center console, placing his

forearm on the victim’s throat and grasping the side of his neck with his other hand. The victim reported to the police

that Vallejo maintained this position for approximately 30 seconds, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Despite this altercation, they continued conversing for another 20 minutes, during which Vallejo persisted in

pressuring the victim for repayment. When the victim expressed uncertainty about repayment timing, Vallejo made

remarks insinuating knowledge of the victim’s living and study locations, according to the warrant.

Ultimately, the victim agreed to repay the money by August to end the encounter and exited the car. As he left, h

e overheard Vallejo threatening, “If I didn’t consider you a friend, I would have assaulted you by now,” the warrant mentions.

The victim proceeded to the library, where Vallejo followed and positioned himself outside the study room, glaring at

the victim and those accompanying him. Feeling uneasy, the victim called 911.

During police interrogation, Vallejo avoided disclosing details of the car incident but acknowledged physically

confronting the victim due to frustration over non-repayment, according to the warrant.
