Administrators at the middle school advised School Resource Officers at the beginning of the day on Thursday, March 2, that a fight involving multiple students had just taken place, with at least one continuing to cause trouble in the aftermath of the incident.
Officials said that the students were separated, however, one remained defiant, behaving disorderly and refusing to comply with administrators’ demands, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.
When officers responded to the school and attempted to diffuse the situation, the student continued to struggle and made numerous attempts to get away in order to continue fighting with classmates.
