Fourteen students at Ottawa Hills High School were arrested on Jan. 15 after a brawl broke out inside the school.

Two adult students and 12 juveniles will be charged with trespassing, hindering police officers and creating a disturbance.
The school was placed on lockdown during the melee and police were called. Teachers were instructed to keep students inside classrooms.
