JUNIUS, NY — A prank by a member of a New York college’s field hockey team led to the player’s arrest after state police say she faked her own kidnapping.

Troopers say two vans were transporting the Morrisville State College team on the Thruway on Saturday when the players started joking around.

Police say one of the players placed tape over her mouth and held up a sign that read, “Help I’ve been kidnapped.”

Troopers charged the 23-year-old player with disorderly conduct.
