A fight involving 10 girls at Villa Rica High School around 8:30 a.m. Thursday ended with no major injuries but a lot of unanswered questions.

Villa Rica Police Chief Michael Mansour said his department dispatched at least half a dozen officers to the high school Thursday morning in response to a fight that involved several female students.

“Basically, it was involving 10 kids, all females, ranging in age from 15 to 18,” Mansour said. “I’m not sure exactly what it was about but it’s been brewing for awhile and it broke loose this morning.”

Villa Rica High School Principal Dennis Brown said the fight started over a boy.

“It’s just one of those things that happens, unfortunately,” Brown said.

Those arrested included six juveniles ages 15 and 16, and four older students ages 17 and 18 who will be charged as adults, Mansour said.

“We charged them with affray, which is basically fighting in public, and disruption of a public school,” he said.

One juvenile girl was also charged with battery because she allegedly hit a teacher in the mouth, Mansour said.

He said the female teacher, along with six or seven officers, were trying to break up the fight.

“We believe it was accidental but she busted her pretty good in the mouth,” Mansour said.

Villa Rica police Officer Michelle Moore, who serves as the school resource officer on the Villa Rica High School campus, was first to respond to the incident.

Mansour said none of the injuries were serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital.

“Just some cuts and scratches and some marks but no one was transported to the hospital,” he said.

The six juveniles were transferred to the youth detention center in Paulding County and the four older students were sent to the Carroll County jail.

Mansour said there were indications of problems between the girls the previous day on campus, when he said the girls engaged in a “skirmish.” That became a full-fledged battle on Thursday.

“They had an incident the day before with some fussing and fighting but no real fight and then it pretty much escalated and broke loose today,” Mansour said Thursday.

Spokeswoman for the school system Elena Schulenburg confirmed the fight was a boyfriend issue. She added that the girls were related. A hearing will be held at 2 p.m. today at the juvenile court in Carrrollton.

Four other students were taken into custody in an unrelated incident, she said.
