A brawl at Talladega High School Wednesday morning
resulted in some arrests and parents leading an exodus of students from the
building, but no students or staff members were seriously injured and no
weapons were involved.
Police records indicate that a total of 13 juveniles and
one adult were arrested on charges including disorderly conduct and inciting to
riot. The juveniles were high school students between the ages of 15 and 17.
The lone adult was 19 years old and also listed as a high school student. All
of those taken into custody were males.
One student involved in the altercation managed to avoid
police Wednesday morning and remained at large Wednesday afternoon.
At a press conference Wednesday morning, City Schools Superintendent
Dr. Donna King said there was an altercation involving at least 10 students
“that we know of at this time. Right now, the staff is continuing to review the
video to ascertain any additional information.”
TPD Chief Jason Busby said investigators were also
reviewing the video and conducting interviews with those who had been involved.
He said the fight appears to have started near the lobby of the main high
school building.
A school resource officer was on duty at the school when
the fight broke out, and called for backup from the Talladega Police
Department.
