Crockett students released
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Two Crockett Junior High eighth-grade boys have been released from the Ector County Youth Center after being detained Wednesday on Class B misdemeanor charges of disruptive activities, an ECISD official said Thursday.
ECISD Communications Director Mike Adkins said one of eighth-graders ran Wednesday through the second floor of Crockett as assistant principal Oscar Guzman tried to stop him.
"He ran into the assistant principal more than once while running around on the second floor," Adkins said.
Eventually, Guzman restrained the student.
In the process of restraining that student, Adkins said, the other eighth-grader "attempted to leave a classroom and gang up on Mr. Guzman" and a teacher restrained the boy.
An ECISD officer responded and detained the two boys. Each was taken to the Ector County Youth Center and charged with a Class B misdemeanor.
The officer assigned to Crockett investigated the incident and found that Guzman properly restrained the first student, Adkins said.
