3 arrested, 1 hurt in game altercation

ROSELAWN - Three people were arrested and one student went to the hospital after an altercation at a Harmony Community School basketball game Tuesday.

Harmony student Kieonta Brundidge, 17, was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for what police say were superficial cuts on her head from an unknown sharp object. She returned to school Wednesday.

Officers arrested a 17-year-old girl accused of cutting Brundidge and charged her with disorderly conduct, felonious assault and endangering a child. The endangering charge stems from the suspect's having her young child with her at the time of the fight, according to Cincinnati police.

The altercation occurred after a 17-year-old boy who does not atten
d Harmony was asked to leave the basketball game because he
would not sit down, said school Principal Deland McCullough. A crowd followed as he was escorted by a police officer into the hallway, McCullough said.

Some of the crowd started shoving near the doorway, resulting in the alleged cutting, McCullough said.

"At some point there was a mild skirmish on the back end of this whole thing," McCullough said. "A girl had a weapon and stabbed a girl or sliced someone. It didn't even last four minutes."

McCullough said some students witnessed the cutting, resulting in the arrest of the girl after the game.

The 17-year-old boy was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing because police said he was told to leave but came back. He told police he was exercising his "freedom of speech," police said.

An 18-year-old, Regina Reece of Westwood, was charged with contributing to the unruliness of a minor. She drove a group of
teens to Harmony to engage in the fight, Officer Eddie Hawkins wrote in court documents.

"We continued to
play the game without incident," McCullough said. The game was against Jacobs High School.
