Westhill Lacrosse Hazing: 11 Players Face Charges | JQJO

Eleven members of the Westhill High School boys lacrosse team face misdemeanor charges of unlawful imprisonment following a hazing incident on April 24th. A redacted criminal complaint details how older players restrained a younger teammate, simulating a kidnapping with a pillowcase, apparent gun, and knife. The victims were lured under false pretenses. All suspects turned themselves in within 24 hours, avoiding more serious charges. The school canceled the remainder of the lacrosse season. One suspect's court appearance is scheduled for May 15th.
