On September 9 at 9 a.m., two students at St. Charles High School were involved in a physical altercation during the class transition on the second floor, which caused additional fights to occur. Due to the large number of students involved, additional officers responded and were able to defuse the situation. One student became aggressive, refused requests to cooperate, and broke a classroom door to gain access to the rest of the school. As a result, the student was arrested and charged on a Juvenile Offense Report with destruction of property. Several other students face second-degree assault charges and school consequences. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call PFC Watkins at 301-609-3282 ext. 0721. The investigation is ongoing.
