CORVALLIS Ore.
A homeless man shot in the leg by an Oregon State University student has filed a lawsuit against the student and his fraternity.
Dennis Sanderson was shot last October in an alley behind the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity house by a .22-caliber rifle bullet.
Joshua Grimes, 20, a fraternity member from Glide, pleaded guilty to assault and unlawful use of a weapon. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail, which he completed in August.
Grimes also must complete 400 hours of community service at a homeless shelter, three years of supervised probation and pay $3,000 in fines.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in Benton County Circuit Court names Grimes, the national Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, the Alpha Gamma Rho educational foundation and the OSU chapter of the fraternity.
Sanderson claims medical expenses of $5,500 and seeks punitive damages that will be specified later but will be at least $50,000.
