11 high school athletes face charges in armed 'hazing' after prosecutor's ultimatum
After a grave warning from Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick, 11 high school lacrosse players in upstate New York have turned themselves in to police for their alleged participation in a cruel prank that went "way beyond hazing," Fox News has confirmed. The Westhill High School students will be charged with unlawful imprisonment stemming from an alleged kidnapping at gunpoint of at least one younger lacrosse player. Fitzpatrick addressed the media Tuesday regarding a situation involving the student athletes last week. Ex-northwestern Players Settle Alleged Hazing Suit Lawsuit Against School, Former Coach Pat Fitzgerald: Report "Thursday, April 24th of this year during the evening hours, some students from Westhill, who, obviously, because of their age I will not name, decided that they were going to haze or play some sort of prank on some of the younger members of the lacrosse team," Fitzpatrick said. "There were at least five potential victims that the sheriff's victim has identified." "One in particular was an individual who was taken to what he thought was to be an enjoyable evening with the upperclassmen and go to a lacrosse game and then finish the evening having something to eat at McDonalds," the district attorney said. Read On The Fox News App "He was taken to a remote area of the county, and at some point, by pre-arrangement, people came out of the woods all dressed in black. "They were armed with what appeared to be at least one handgun and at least one knife," according to Fitzpatrick. "A pillowcase was placed over his head, he was tied up, and placed in the trunk of a car." University Suspends Fraternity Accused Of 'Inhumane' Hazing That Left Pledge In Fear He told the perpetrators that they had 48 hours to turn themselves in and face the kidnapping charges, or face felony second-degree kidnapping charges, which carry a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. "This is a 48 hour offer," he said. "Get an attorney, contact the sheriff's department, arrange to surrender yourself. You'll be given an appearance ticket." "If you don't - if you're tougher than me and you're a gambler and you're going to play the odds and you don't think you're going to get caught, trust me - the men and women of the Onondaga County Sheriff's Department are going to identify you, you'll be arrested, you'll be prosecuted as an adult and you'll be charged with the very, very serious felony of kidnapping in the second degree." Fitzpatrick added that he could not explain to the community the "lack of judgment and stupidity" involved in this case. "This goes way, way beyond hazing - you know, doing something stupid as a rite of passage," he said. He also said that in normal cases, parents of the victims would be allowed to decide if they wanted to press charges. Due to the gravity of this particular case, his office took it upon itself to proceed as they would with any other criminal matter. Lisa O'Reilly the President of the Board of Education of The Westhill Central School District released a statement Wednesday afternoon. "We are aware of the District Attorney's statement and are continuing to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation," she said. "At this time, the District has no additional information to share. While the investigation is ongoing, we remain committed to the values of student safety, dignity, and accountability. We remain in close contact with law enforcement and remain focused on supporting our students and ensuring the safety and well-being of our school community."

Teen hazing suspects surrender after being given 48-hour deadline
Eleven New York state high school athletes accused of a hazing prank where they allegedly brandished a gun and traumatised their lacrosse teammates have turned themselves in, authorities said on Wednesday. The student-athletes at Westhill High School in Syracuse allegedly drove a group of younger players to the woods, where one of the victims had a pillowcase put over his head and was put in the boot of a car. At a news conference on Tuesday, Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick had ordered the players to turn themselves in within 48 hours or risk being prosecuted as adults. District Attorney Fitzpatrick described the incident as "way beyond hazing". "I cannot really adequately express to this community the level of stupidity and lack of judgment involved in this case," Fitzpatrick said. Authorities said that on 24 April, at least five victims were offered a ride after a lacrosse game and were taken to nearby woods after the driver of the vehicle pretended to be lost. "At some point by pre-arrangement, people came out of the woods all dressed in black. They were armed with what appeared to be at least one handgun and at least one knife," Fitzpatrick told reporters. "I've seen the videotape of what happened to this young man. It is not a rite of passage," he said, referring to the student who had the pillowcase put over his head. There were no reports of physical injuries, but the younger students had been traumatised by the experience, authorities said. "I'm not trying to sissify American youth," Fitzpatrick said. "If you want to welcome someone onto your team and toughen them up, maybe an extra hour of practice might be appropriate, as opposed to taking someone at gunpoint, stuffing them in the back of the car and traumatizing them for the rest of his life." The district attorney said the students would face misdemeanour charges of unlawful imprisonment and would be released to the custody of their parents if they turned themselves in voluntarily. None of the names of the suspects or victims have been released by police. Westhill Central School District Superintendent Steve Dunham said that the team's lacrosse season has been cancelled. In a statement, he said the district is cooperating with the district attorney's investigation.

Lacrosse hazing included high schoolers staging armed abduction, prosecutor says
A group of high school students in upstate New York are being threatened with charges of kidnapping if they don't turn themselves into authorities over a lacrosse team hazing prank in which participants are accused of staging an armed abduction of younger players. Article content Prosecutors allege members of the lacrosse program at Westhill High School in suburban Syracuse planned a team trip to McDonald's that ended with one player being tied up, blindfolded and put into a trunk, Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick said. Article content The alleged victim was led to believe he would be abandoned in a remote area, but was returned to his home without being physically harmed. Article content 'I cannot adequately express to this community the level of stupidity and lack of judgment involved in this case,' Fitzpatrick told reporters Tuesday evening. Article content Fitzpatrick said a person driving five younger players on the team pretended to get lost, pulled over in a place where other participants in the prank lay in wait, armed with at least one knife and a weapon that appeared to be a gun. Article content That's when the students launched the fake abduction. While the student wasn't hurt physically, 'emotionally, that's going to be long term,' Fitzpatrick said. Article content 'This is not lighting a bag on fire on Halloween and sticking it in your driveway, this is criminal activity,' he said, adding that it could have led to a fatal shooting if police had come across the scene and saw 'a kid with a hood over his head being abducted at gunpoint.' Article content Article content The events were captured on video, and Fitzpatrick said that the local sheriffs office identified 11 people they believe participated either directly or indirectly. in the ruse. He's offering those people — some of whom are 18 — until Thursday to turn themselves in and face lower-level charges that would not result in jail time. Article content Those who don't turn themselves in would face felony charges. Article content 'Don't come crying to me two weeks from now and say, 'You charged my little baby with kidnapping.' Yeah, that's right. Most of my prosecutors can win cases that are on videotape,' said Fitzpatrick.

Teen hazing suspects given 48 hours to turn themselves in
Authorities in New York state say a group of high school athletes brandished a gun and traumatised their teammates in an incident they described as "way beyond hazing". The student-athletes at Westhill High School in Syracuse drove the younger players to the woods, where one of the victims had a pillowcase put over his head and was put in the boot of a car. At a news conference on Tuesday, Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick ordered the players to turn themselves in within 48 hours or risk being prosecuted as adults. Investigators said at least 11 students were suspected of involvement in the incident, and at least five younger athletes were targeted. "I cannot really adequately express to this community the level of stupidity and lack of judgment involved in this case," Fitzpatrick said. Authorities said that on 24 April, the victims were offered a ride after a lacrosse game and were taken to nearby woods after the driver of the vehicle pretended to be lost. "At some point by prearrangement, people came out of the woods all dressed in black. They were armed with what appeared to be at least one handgun and at least one knife," Fitzpatrick told reporters.

"I'm not trying to sissify American youth," he said. "If you want to welcome someone onto your team and toughen them up, maybe an extra hour of practice might be appropriate, as opposed to taking someone at gunpoint, stuffing them in the back of the car and traumatizing them for the rest of his life." Fitzpatrick said that if the older players voluntarily turn themselves in they will face a misdemeanour charge of unlawful imprisonment and will be released to the custody of their parents, and that the case would likely be dealt with in family court, meaning that they could avoid a criminal record. However, he said if the suspects don't turn themselves in, they will be arrested, charged with a felony charge of kidnapping, and that he would seek to try them as adults. If convicted, they could face prison sentences of up to 25 years. "Some people have been cooperative with the sheriff's office and given statements, some people have not," Fitzpatrick said. None of the names of the suspects or victims have been released by police. Westhill Central School District Superintendent Steve Dunham said that the team's lacrosse season has been cancelled. In a statement, he said the district is cooperating with the district attorney's investigation.
