Overview
- Video from the Queen of Apostles School in Toledo shows a large physical fight that local reporters say began during kindergarten graduation rehearsals over a dispute about rows of seats.
- Police arrested 28-year-old Jessica Anderson and charged her with felonious assault after a court affidavit alleges she grabbed a woman by the hair and struck the woman’s head against a chair.
- A woman was treated at a hospital for a head injury that required staples and was later released, and a parent who intervened says he was punched and overwhelmed by multiple people.
- School officials and police say students were kept apart and not harmed, the school thanked police for a rapid response, and reporting is inconsistent about whether the ceremony was later rescheduled.
- The next formal step in the case is a preliminary hearing scheduled in Toledo Municipal Court for June 10, and the incident has prompted local concern about parental conduct and the school’s community reputation.
