A UW-La Crosse freshman is expected to be charged Tuesday for lying to police investigating the death of a fellow student last fall.

A La Crosse County Deputy District Attorney says the student lied about several "important facts" during the investigation of the death of Lucas Homan, 21.

Homan disappeared after drinking downtown during the city's Oktoberfest celebration last fall.

Prosecutors say a teammate on the UW-L basketball team will be charged with two misdemeanor counts of obstructing officers.

He says the student is not a suspect in Homan's death, which is still under investigation.
