TUSD says the father of two Tucson High Students triggered a large fight there.
TUSD’s Superintendent Gabriel Trujillo says the district got a tip trouble was brewing between two groups and did a good job of defusing it, until the kids—and maybe parents— went home and used social media to inflame things again.
An interim criminal complaint from Tucson Police says, “Smith was advised by school staff and School Safety officers to leave campus with his sons through the back exit and not through campus." Superintendent Trujillo says Smith did more than take his kids through a tense area–he ended up in a fight himself, with TUSD surveillance video showing the man with his hands around a student’s neck.
Images shot during the fight show what appears to be Willie Smith fighting with students. A man in a red shirt is the only adult shown who is not in police uniform, school security uniform or wearing school credentials.
