An apparent prank involving Westhill High School students has led to 11 of its lacrosse players to be charged with unlawful imprisonment, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said Wednesday.

The DA told reporters Tuesday that young members of the lacrosse team were lured out by some teammates by the promise of a night at a lacrosse game.

Instead, the DA said they were taken to a remote area where people dressed in black with a knife and what appeared to be a gun were waiting. A student was tied up with a hood over their head before they were put in a car trunk. They were later released.

"I cannot really adequately express to this community the level of stupidity and lack of judgment involved in this case. This goes way beyond hazing," Fitzpatrick said.

Fitzpatrick had given the people involved until Friday morning to turn themselves in with a lawyer. The DA said on Wednesday that 11 lacrosse players had turned themselves in and were charged with unlawful imprisonment, a class A misdemeanor.

The school district is cooperating with the investigation and said Tuesday's varsity lacrosse team's game was postponed.
