Last of 11 charged with felony hazing in FAMU case turns herself in
(CNN) -- The last of 11 people facing felony hazing charges tied to a Florida A&M University band member's death turned themselves in on Sunday, four days after prosecutors announced the charges, the state said.
Lasherry Codner, 20, is in Orange County jail after reporting to authorities Sunday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said in a statement. The department had said on Friday that it had been in contact with her family in Georgia.
She joins 10 others who have reported to jails throughout Florida after being charged with felony hazing in the death of 26-year-old Robert Champion.
State law provides a prison term of up to six years for a conviction on this charge, Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Lawson Lamar said last week.
