Parent Arrested for Assault at Fike High School

A parent, identified as Quinton Earl Lofton, was arrested for attacking a student at Fike High School in Wilson, North Carolina. The incident occurred when Lofton, directed to report to the office upon entering the school, instead assaulted a 17-year-old student in the hallway, linked to an external situation. Video footage captures Lofton dragging and pushing the student, who appeared to suffer a seizure afterward. School officials, including Principal Ross Renfrow, intervened promptly to de-escalate the situation and escorted Lofton out. He faces charges of felony assault by strangulation and disorderly conduct and is barred from returning to the school. The student's family is seeking answers on how Lofton accessed the school and demands accountability from the institution.
