LANCASTER, S.C. — Nearly 30 juveniles between the ages of 14 and 17 are facing charges in connection with several fights that happened last week in Lancaster, according to police reports obtained by Channel 9.
Those charges stem from fights that broke out inside Lancaster High School last week. Now, dozens of juveniles were charged with simple assault. Because they are minors, their cases will go through the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice.
Students told Channel 9 that a teacher was injured during those fights, and it was tough for them to focus.
We reached out to the district to see if those students will face disciplinary action as well, but have not heard back.
