High school principal body-slammed while breaking up fight.

Last edited Thu Oct 29, 2015, 10:24 AM - Edit history (1)

Three Florin High School students were taken to juvenile hall after a wild fight in which the school’s principal was body-slammed.

The chaotic scene played out during lunchtime Monday on the south-area campus.

A fight broke out, drawing a school resource police officer, a school official and Principal Don Ross. Students gathered around, at least one recording the melee on a cellphone, as officials tried to break up the fight.

After trying to restrain a tall student, Ross was thrown to the floor. Undeterred, Ross got back up and tried to prevent the student from fighting again.

The fight, including the efforts of Ross, who officials said was not badly hurt during the altercation, was posted on YouTube.

Sacramento County sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Tony Turnbull said that two 15-year-olds and a 13-year-old were arrested. Two were charged with suspicion of battery on school staff causing injury and the third was arrested for making threats toward other students and law enforcement.

If he hadn't been high, he would never have been able to get up after being slammed.
