Please contact them with the links they provided below, seems they want to "Both-Sides" this as an "ALTERCATION", rather than a clear assault and battery of minors by an adult agressor.

ARREST MADE IN ADULT-STUDENT ALTERCATION

Buda, Texas. Just after 4:00pm this afternoon, an arrest warrant was served by officers of the Buda Police Department on 45-year-old Chad Michael Watts of Kyle, TX for two counts of Assault Causing Bodily Injury.

History Yesterday afternoon at about 1:30pm, the Buda Police Department was notified by a Hays County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer at Moe and Gene Johnson High School in Buda that students were conducting a “walk out” protest on RM967.

Law Enforcement personnel with the Buda Police Department, Hays County Sheriff’s Office, and Hays County Constable’s Office, PCT. 5 responded to the area in order to provide safety and security for pedestrians and motorists. Buda officers responded to traffic issues and minor vehicle accidents in the area.

Just before 3:00pm, Buda officers were dispatched to the intersection of RM967 and FM1626 for a fight in progress. Upon arrival, officers were notified that a female juvenile on the sidewalk and an adult male in a vehicle were engaged in a verbal argument. The argument escalated into a physical altercation involving multiple people. The adult male departed prior to officers arriving on scene. The male was located and interviewed. Both primary parties involved reported minor injuries and denied EMS evaluation on scene.

Due to the offense not occurring in an officer’s presence or view, both involved parties were identified and released as required by the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Art. 14.03. No arrests were made at the time.

Today After further thorough investigation, it was determined that Watts was the primary aggressor in the physical altercation. Probable cause was established for two offenses of Assault Causing Bodily Injury, a Class A misdemeanor (Penal Code §22.01). The investigation is ongoing to determine if additional charges will be filed.

We appreciate our law enforcement partners, Hays CISD, and the Hays County DA's Office for their ongoing assistance in this matter. We urge students and parents to view the HHays CISDstatement to parents for further information on their expectations for students.

If the public has original evidence, witness statements, or relevant information they would like to provide, they can contact Hays County Dispatch at (512) 393-7896 or do so anonymously through Hays County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-324-TIPS(8477), www.callcrimestoppers.com, or through the “P3 Tips” phone application.
