STATESVILLE, N.C. — Nine teenagers were involved in a large fight inside Statesville High School on Friday, Dec. 2.

Multiple charges have been distributed amongst the students: Disorderly Conduct, Disorderly Conduct by Fighting, Assault on School Employees, Communicating Threats, Simple Assault, and Failure to Disperse on Command.
The charges differ due to each person's involvement.
