An investigation of hazing in the Elk River football program has yet to turn up any players who want to pursue criminal charges.
Police Chief Jeffrey Beahen (BEE’-uhn) says that doesn’t mean no one will be charged. He says investigators still have five or six players to talk to.
But Beahen says most players interviewed so far didn’t think the incidents were a big deal.
Beahen says players reported being poked or struck with a broom handle on the leg or buttocks. He says no one has reported being hit in the genitals or elsewhere.
A school official didn’t immediately return a phone call Friday. The football program has been suspended while the hazing is investigated.
