“I didn’t know if it was a physical altercation. oo if it was some kind of threat assessment and they had to detain the student, so I allowed security to try to detain the student until there could be a full investigation. That’s when I realized I realized that the situation was not how I thought ”, explained the person in charge to local media.
The principal is collaborating with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and it is very possible that charges will be filed against Joseph in the next few days.
