Administrators with Cleveland City Schools say several students were arrested on Tuesday following an altercation in the Commons area at Cleveland High School.
Director of schools, Russell Dyer, issued the following statement about the incident:
“Yesterday an altercation took place in the Commons area at Cleveland High School during lunch. While the investigation continues, it appears the issue stems from a situation outside of the school setting. According to Cleveland Police, several students have been arrested due to this event. Those students, and potentially more, will also face disciplinary consequences that may include suspension or expulsion from school based on the results of the investigation. Cleveland City Schools takes student and staff safety seriously and will vigorously enforce our board policies dealing with student discipline in matters such as this event. Thank you to our staff, students, and school resource officers that intervened today to bring an end to this incident.”
It’s unclear how many students were arrested or what charges they face.
The father of a 2-day-old that was at the center of a Tennessee AMBER alert faces charges for kidnapping the infant and murdering her mother, according to the Memphis Police Department.
MPD says the baby hasn’t been found but evidence suggests she may be dead.
Brandon Isabelle is charged with 2 counts of first degree murder, murder in the perpetration of aggravated kidnapping, and tampering/fabricating with evidence in connection with the deaths of Danielle and Kennedy Hoyle, according to MPD.
The search for Kennedy’s remains continues.
The Republican-led Tennessee Senate voted Wednesday to remove Democratic Sen. Katrina Robinson from office because of her recent wire fraud conviction, the first time the chamber has removed a senator since at least the Civil War.
The criminal case against Robinson, a Memphis lawmaker, involves federal grant money at a school for health care school workers she operated in the city before she was elected to the Senate. Robinson and other Democrats called her expulsion premature, noting that many of the original charges were dropped and she hasn’t been sentenced yet on the two remaining counts.
Robinson, who is Black, argued before the 27-5 vote to expel her that she had been unfairly judged by the white-majority chamber. She called it a “procedural lynching,” prompting cheers of support that the Republican speaker gaveled down. Some of her supporters in the gallery were in tears.
Sen. John Stevens, a Republican from Huntington, said Robinson had been judged in a courtroom by her fellow citizens.
Robinson, one of three Black women in the Senate, all of them Democrats, was elected in 2018. She has maintained her innocence.
