Nine Congress Middle School students could face suspension or worse after police say they tried to stymie efforts to investigate a fight on a school bus. The trouble began as a middle school fight on the way home from school Tuesday, but turned to chaos as students shouted down others who wanted to cooperate with police, according to a Boynton Beach police report.Read more...
Boynton Beach police arrested nine girls, ages 12 to 15, on charges of resisting arrest without violence. The trouble started sometime before 4:30 p.m. on bus No. 0119-C044, according to the police report. Bus driver Winston Gray stopped in the 500 block of West Boynton Beach Boulevard to quell a fight on board. Gray tried to get the unruly kids to sit down, but they refused, according to the report.
When police came, it didn't get much better. An officer tried to investigate the circumstances of the fight, but the unruly students stood up and yelled at others for trying to cooperate, police said. Officers pulled the nine students off the bus to interview them and they refused to give their names, ages or any information.
