A teen was sent to the hospital and eight others are facing a number of charges after a large fight broke out at a Spotsylvania high school Tuesday, according to officials.
The Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office School Resource deputies responded to Riverbend High School, located on Spotswood Furnace Road, during school hours after a report of the fight involving multiple students. The fight left one student, a 17-year-old, being taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
After the initial investigation by the sheriff's office, a total of eight teen students will be charged. The charges range from malicious wounding, assault by mob, and assault and battery. The ages of the suspects are between 14-17.
The sheriff's office said additional charges may come as the investigation continues with the help of the Spotsylvania County Public Schools. Authorities have already found a possible link between the fight to a prior altercation that happened at the school after a basketball game on Jan. 13.
