Cops, graduates and parents were seen scuffling after a California high school graduation ceremony – and the melee ended up with four arrests.
The aftermath of Kerman High School’s ceremony descended into chaos Thursday over an argument that started between one senior and another boy in the parking lot, KFSN reported.
The senior, who was on probation, was detained before the situation escalated.
“It should have stopped there, but at some point, they had family members, emotions are high, decided to insert themselves into that situation,” Kerman Police Lieutenant Wil Barcoma said.
A teenage girl hit one officer and tried to resist being arrested, according to Barcoma.
The four people were jailed over their roles in the melee. The senior and the other boy were charged with challenging to fight.
The senior was also charged with violating court orders and obstruction. His mom was charged with resisting a police officer.
