Two students arrested at school for assault and terroristic threat

Katy ISD confirms that two students from McDonald Junior High School were arrested at school Tuesday.

One student was charged with assault of a public servant, the other for an alleged terroristic threat against a school district employee.

FOX 26 spoke with the mother of the student charged with assault.


She says her son had taken video of a student being beaten up as part of a gang initiation at the school.

When a teacher discovered the video, Kennie Solano says the teacher snatched the phone away from him.

Then her son allegedly got into a physical altercation trying to get his phone back.

Solano said her son already served a 3-day suspension for taking video of the bathroom brawl.

Katy ISD has not given any more details about the student arrested for terroristic threat, but released the following statement:
