On Wednesday, November 27, 2015, SLHS had a half-day schedule for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. However, many students were hanging around the school building and surrounding sidewalks after school because there was a Thanksgiving pageant held from 1:00-3:00 P.M. By 3:30 p.m. most students had left school property to begin their long weekend. Only those who had participated in the pageant and a few other students remained in or around the high school grounds. At about 3:30 P.M. Officers Kevin/ Kiana Bates and Theresa/ Tommy Major were patrolling their area in their patrol car. They noticed Andrew Madison and James/ Jamie Lincoln on the corner of Equality Street and Hope Avenue. There were no other youths on the corner at that time, and neither student had a backpack on or around them. Both officers were in their police uniforms, and their cruiser was clearly marked with DJPD insignias. Madison and Lincoln were standing next to the fence of the corner house (229 Equality Street), close to SLHS, which both of them attend. Theywere talking loudly with one another, snacking on some chips, and Madison was smoking cigarettes. Officers Bates and Major noticed Madison and Lincoln interacting with a student who walked out of SLHS in a costume. The student didn't seem scared so Officers Bates and Major continued their patrol. When Officers Bates and Major came back around the same corner, they noticed a very loud conversation between Madison and Lincoln and a group of kids, The officers pulled up next to Madison and Lincoln, exited the cruiser, and approached them. The officers asked them their names and what they were doing on the corner, in addition to asking to see some identification. Neither Madison nor Lincoln initially cooperated with these requests. Officer Bates threatened to arrest them. Both Madison and Lincoln moved towards their pockets, and Officer Bates noticed something shiny in Madison's right hand. S/He then attempted to get the object from Madison. The events leading up to the arrest are in dispute, but at the very beginning of the scuffle between Officer Bates and Madison, Madison sustained a cut to his upper right leg. It is unclear at what point Officer Bates suffered the cut on his/ her arm and Madison sustained the broken wrist. However, both Madison's cut and Officer Bates' cut were caused by Madison's pocketknife. By the end of the encounter, Madison wason the ground, his arms pinned behind his back by Officer Bates' knee. At that point Officer Bates handcuffed Madison and put him in the patrol car while Officer Major did the same to Lincoln. At the police station Officers' Bates and Major learned that Madison and Lincoln were students at SLHS who had attended the Thanksgiving pageant. Both of their parents came to the police station to get them and find out what had happened between them and the police officers. Madison's parents took him to the hospital to have his wrist and the cut on his thigh evaluated. Officer Bates' and Madison's wounds were superficially treated at the police station. They both subsequently received medical treatment for their injuries. On Thanksgiving, Madison's parents took him back to the station to fill out a civilian complaint against Officer Bates. Additional Facts Both parties have agreed that Andrew Madison was carrying a Swiss Army retractable pocketknife in his pocket. These types of knives are not illegal in the District of Justicia, but school rules prohibit students from carrying them on school property.Officer Kevin/ Kiana Bates has been pulled from active duty until the civilian complaint filed against her/ him by Andrew Madison's parent has been investigated internally.

The non-students have been reportedly calling out students' names, shouting expletives, and making threatening gestures towards students. Additionally, these non-students have been spray painting names and/ or graphic images onto school buildings: Due to the increase of this type of activity, school administrators called Division One-One, the division of the District of Justicia Police Department (DJPD) that patrols school areas, to ask for heightened police presence during the times when the worst harassment occurs - 8:00 a.m, to 8:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m
