(WSB Radio) -- University of Georgia Police are investigating claims by an 18-year-old Clemson University student who says he was beaten up in the basement of a fraternity house.

Chief Jimmy Williamson tells WSB while Stephen Spaseff's statements were credible, several details remain foggy.

"He had been consuming alcohol and that's what's making this a little more difficult.  Some of the details are a little fuzzy, but we find this fairly frequently with incidents like this," said Williamson.

Spaseff flagged down police about a block from the Ki Phi house, where he said the assault occurred.

"He said that he got into an altercation and at some point in time he ended up in the basement area of a fraternity house where he was beat on by numerous individuals," said Williamson.

Williamson said Spaseff did have injuries that would give the impression that he had been beaten up.  They weren't life-threatening or required any type of extensive medical treatment.

Williamson says they're still trying to figure out exactly what happened and if anyone from the fraternity was involved.

"We're in the process of retracing the events of that night, interviewing possible witnesses of people who may have been in the area.  We're checking for other surveillance cameras in the area to try and confirm what happened," said Williamson.
