A Family Was Arrested for Cheering at a High School Graduation

I remember back when I graduated from high school, I had my parents make a ruckus when they called my name. In case you were wondering, no they didn't get arrested for doing so. I can't say the same for this poor family.

Senatobia High School in Northwest Mississippi had it's graduation a few weeks ago, and the program asked friends and family to hold their applause until all names had been read.

However, when a girl named Lanarcia Walker walked across that stage, her four family members went nuts for her anyway.

The bad part is, the Superintendent had them tossed out. Then he went to the police and asked if there was any legal action he could take. The cops said yes, and all four received warrants for their arrest for disturbing the peace!

The school says it banned cheering so every kid would have a fair chance to hear their name called.

Lanarcia's family still thinks this was an over reaction.  Her brother Henry says, "The fact that I might have to bond out of jail, pay court costs for expressing my love, it's ridiculous, man."
