13 students arrested after fights break out at John Ehret High School in Marrero
Thirteen students at John Ehret High School were arrested Thursday morning (May 23) after “multiple fights” at the school, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Twelve of the students, after 14 to 18, were booked with disturbing the peace by fighting, a misdemeanor, said Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the department.
Deputies also arrested a 17-year-old boy who was allegedly in possession of a gun, Sheriff Joseph Lopinto said. The boy wasn’t involved in the fight and did not brandish the weapon, but he did flee and try to toss the gun once deputies tried to take him into custody.
He was booked with illegally carrying a firearm on school property, Rivarde said.
