The suspect was identified as a student at the school, according to the sheriff’s office.
“That juvenile was found hiding inside the school and when the deputy found them, the student fought with the deputy,” read a statement from the sheriff’s office. “The deputy was able to get them into custody and they were arrested and booked into (the juvenile detention center).”
The student was not injured during the incident. The deputy had minor injuries from the struggle.
“This incident is under investigation by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office,” read a statement from Dayton Public Schools Superintendent David Lawrence. “We can confirm the individual involved is a Meadowdale student. While we cannot provide comment pending their investigation, we would like to clarify that their initial reports do contain several inaccuracies. At the conclusion of their investigation, we would be happy to share more.”
We have asked DPS for more information regarding potential inaccuracies and will update this story once we receive a response.
