SUMMARY: On Friday, September 22, 2023, at approximately 6:28 p.m., deputies with the Victorville Police Department responded to a fight at Victor Valley High School, where a football game was taking place.
Upon arriving, the first deputy on scene discovered multiple parties involved in the fight. The deputy deployed pepper balls toward the ground in an effort to disperse the crowd, but the effort was ineffective, and the parties began moving toward the deputy. As additional deputies arrived, another pepper ball round was deployed toward the subjects and a 16-year-old female grabbed the pepper ball launcher. A deputy pulled the female away causing her to land on the ground. During the incident a 16-year-old male punched one of the deputies in the face. Deputies gained control of the male and placed him in custody. The female was transported to a hospital for treatment of injuries.
The male subject was arrested and booked at High Desert Juvenile Hall. A report will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review of charges against the male and female.
