Two Georgetown High students — an 18- year-old and a juvenile — were arrested after a Valentine’s Day fight on a bus.
The fight, captured on the video camera at the front of the bus, reportedly began when the juvenile walked to the front of the vehicle to confront the 18-year-old.
The younger student pushed the 18-year-old who retaliated by grabbing the juvenile.
The two continued to fight until several adults were able to break them up.
Police and their parents were notified and were not only charged but have been recommended for expulsion.
The fight, according to the report, may have started over seating arrangements — and sunflower seeds.
