This is the last and only time that InLaxWeTrust will have any coverage on this incident as it is an official release by the head coach.

We can confirm that four Knighthawks players required medical treatment and spent the night in the hospital. We can also confirm that five of the people taken into custody are Rochester Knighthawks players. The five players were released on their own with no bail required after appearing in court on Tuesday and are now home. We are conducting our own investigation of the incident and there is now an ongoing legal proceeding and we will not be issuing any further comment at this time"
Yesterday it had been reported by ILIndoor.com that there was an incident at a restaurant in Bloomington, Minnesota that involved five players of the Rochester Knighthawks. On if those players would be suspended or able to play this week, Hasen said "no comment"

Let's not judge too quickly
Hopefully the lacrosse community learned from that nasty incident at Duke a few years ago that early reports are rarely the full story or even close to being accurate. These young men are not thugs and deserve the chance to say their piece in the fullness of time in a time and place of their choosing, if ever!
Audi Alteram Partem. Look it up
