11 high school lacrosse players suspected in hazing of teammate in Syracuse turn themselves in, avoiding kidnapping charges

All 11 Westhill High School lacrosse players suspected of being involved in hazing a teammate in Syracuse, New York, have turned themselves in, Onondaga County First Chief Assistant District Attorney Joseph Coolican said Wednesday.

The non-juvenile students will be arraigned, while the juveniles will go “straight to family court,” Coolican said. They face misdemeanor charges of unlawful imprisonment, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.
