DELTONA, Fla. -- Three high school wrestlers face expulsion based on accusations they hog-tied a learning-disabled teammate and zapped him with a grill igniter.

Officials call it a hazing prank that went too far.

None of the boys were arrested but Volusia County's sheriff's office filed felony complaints with prosecutors, seeking felony charges of aggravated battery and false imprisonment.

School officials said two hazing incidents occurred in a wrestling practice room at the high school Tuesday.

Volusia County Sheriff's Department offers the following account of the incident:

"According to witnesses, the victim -- a 17-year-old wrestler -- was tackled to the ground by team members while inside the wrestling room, hogtied with a jump rope and then shocked 20 or more times with an igniter device.

Witnesses described the incident as a prank meant as a joke. The victim, however, said he was fighting back and told the other boys to stop, but they refused and continued to hold him down.

Afterwards, the victim, still tied up, was taken to the gymnasium. A 15-year-old student, who was accused of shocking the victim was charged with aggravated battery and false imprisonment. A 16-year-old wrestler was charged with being a principal to aggravated battery and false imprisonment for helping to tie up the victim. Another student, a 17-year-old, was accused of restraining the victim by sitting on his back. He also was charged with being a principal to aggravated battery and false imprisonment.

Shortly before being victimized, the victim participated in a similar incident in which another wrestler was hogtied and had his mouth taped shut by team members. That incident, however, didn’t go as far and the shocking device wasn’t used. The target of the first prank said he wasn’t bothered by the incident."

Officials learned of the hazing incidents when the 17-year-old told a physical education teacher about the second.
