Peoria Police have arrested a juvenile for multiple assault charges that allegedly occurred at Peoria High School, 11200 N. 83rd Ave.
Officers responded to a stabbing at Peoria High School during an evening football game, around 9:15 p.m., Oct. 18.
School Resource Officers received information that this was an isolated incident between two juveniles near the bleachers. One juvenile sustained a minor injury to his abdomen and was taken to a local hospital. The 14-year-old suspect fled the scene before officers could contact him. During the investigation, officers determined both juveniles had a disagreement that led to the stabbing, a news release said.
The 14-year-old suspect turned himself in to Peoria Police detectives Oct. 30 for his involvement in this incident.
The child was processed and later taken to the Durango Juvenile Detention Facility.
The suspect was booked on two counts of Aggravated Assault and one count of Assault. These charges are preliminary and may be amended, the release said.
"We want to thank our School Resource Officers for their swift action during this incident. The Peoria Police Department, in partnership with the Peoria Unified School District, is committed to providing the safest possible environment for staff and students. The campus grounds at every school should be considered a safe place, and those willing to compromise that will be identified, arrested, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law," the release stated.
