Five students arrested after fight at Wythe High School

Five male students were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct yesterday after a cafeteria fight that led authorities to lock down George Wythe High School, Richmond police said.

Four of the five were juveniles and one was 18, a police spokeswoman said.

Police received the call at about 11:30 a.m. There were no injuries, the spokeswoman said.

The five students are suspended pending a panel hearing, school spokeswoman Felicia Cosby said. No date has been set, but the students aren't expected back in school before the week of April 13. Next week is spring break, so a hearing can't be scheduled then.

Police plan to station extra resource officers at the school this morning, as does the school system. The police department stations one officer at each of the city's five comprehensive high schools. Wythe also has nine school security personnel. That force will be augmented throughout the day. -- Zachary Reid
