WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Four Northwest Indiana teens have been arrested in connection with the beating of a fifth youth inside a school restroom.
The Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office says the three 15-year-old boys and a 14-year-old boy were processed into a juvenile detention center Tuesday on suspicion of what would be felony battery if the boys were adults. A fifth teen remains unidentified, it said.
The beating occurred Monday at Harrison High School. The sheriff’s office says the assailants caught the 15-year-old victim inside the restroom and wouldn’t let him leave. The victim’s mother took him to a hospital.
