State Police arrest multiple students following fight at Glasgow High School

The Delaware State Police arrested two 16-year-old males and four 17-year-old males, all from Delaware, for multiple assault-related offenses following a fight that occurred at Glasgow High School in Newark earlier this month.

On January 15, 2025, at approximately 12:50 p.m., the Delaware State Police School Resource Officer assigned to Glasgow High School and the school’s staff were notified of a fight involving multiple students in the hallway. The School Resource Officer and school staff quickly separated the students. The investigation revealed a 17-year-old student from Bear, a 16-year-old student from New Castle, a 17-year-old student from Newark, DE, a 17-year-old student from New Castle, a 16-year-old from Newark, DE, and a 17-year-old from Bear, DE, were involved in a mutual physical altercation in the hallway. During the fight, the 16-year-old from New Castle, and the 17-year-old from Newark, kicked the 17-year-old from Bear. The 17-year-old student was taken to an area hospital by EMS, where he was treated and released. Also, during the fight, the 17-year-old from Newark kicked the second 17-year-old from Bear. The student was evaluated by the school nurse and turned over to his guardian. The remaining students were turned over to their guardians while the investigation was conducted.

Following the investigation, the School Resource Officer obtained a warrant for the 16-year-old from New Castle and the 17-year-old from Newark. On January 27, 2025, the two males turned themselves in at Troop 2, where they were each charged with multiple offenses. The remaining teens were each charged with misdemeanor offenses.
