Last Friday, a fight between 20 students erupted on the bus ramp at the end of the school day. Tuesday, three brawls happened before 3 p.m. Then on Wednesday, 37 sheriff’s deputies had to be called to the campus to help break-up even more violence.

Tuesday, four different fights broke out throughout the afternoon.

One student was arrested and charged with Battery on a Specified Employee, Affray/Disruption of a School Function.  Six other students were arrested with Affray/Disruption of a School Function.  There were seven arrests on Tuesday.

The very next day, another fight occurred, where one student was charged with Misdemeanor Battery, Resist w/o Violence, and Disruption of a School Function. A second student was charged with Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting Arrest w/ Violence, and Disruption of a School Function.

About an hour later, a deputy was spat on by a student while he tried to talk him out of a fight. That student was charged with Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer and resisting arrest.
