Eleven upstate New York high school lacrosse players who left at least one younger player tied up in the woods in a cruel hazing stunt have been ordered to turn themselves in or face felony kidnapping charges. The incident, described by Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick as “hazing on steroids,” happened on April 24 when the older players at Westhill High School in Syracuse tricked their younger teammates with a “prank” that left them scarred. One of at least five victims identified by police said that after last week’s lacrosse game, he had gone to McDonald’s with the upperclassmen for a bite — but was then taken deep into the woods as the driver pretended to be lost, Fitzpatrick told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday.
