Parent Arrested For School Fight
An Augusta area woman faces charges after authorities say she joined in a high school brawl.
Richmond County school safety Lt. Richard Roundtree says authorities charged 38-year-old Lawanda Lovett with disorderly conduct for her involvement in the fight at Josey High School.
Police also arrested her 18-year-old daughter Tequila Lovett, and five other students. School officials say all six students are suspended pending a school tribunal.
Lt. Roundtree says the mother had checked in with the school's office before going to where the fight started. Officials are reviewing review surveillance video to determine which two students started the fight.
Eleven students went to jail at the school following a Jan. 6 brawl at the same school.
