Myspace Video Leads To Arrest www.privateofficer.com
FAYETTE COUNTY, Ga. Jan 4 2008 -- A video posted to a MySpace.com page is what Fayette County investigators said they used to arrest a suspected gang leader in school Thursday morning.
Parents admit even the best schools have to be watched.
"They just gave us a letter at school saying someone got arrested for gang activity," said Fayette County High School student Jimmy Boykin.
"I'm concerned about gang violence," said parent Ken Jackson. "I mean, anytime there is violence in school, it's just not good."
Officials said 17-year-old Andre Scott was arrested in his Fayette County High School classroom Thursday. Fayette County investigators said Scott posted a video of a 14-year-old being initiated into a gang on his MySpace page.
"There was a 14-year-old that was initiating into the Bloods and a Crip member who was also a juvenile was being disciplined for something that some recruiters for the two gangs had organized this fight," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard.
Investigators said Scott posted the video on his MySpace page in November. Officials said a school resource officer alerted authorities after he found and watched the video.
“We will not stand for it. For quite some time we’ve been aware that counties around us are suffering from gang involvement and we have been proactive,” said Ballard. Scott is expected to face four felony charges and one misdemeanor. Officials said they plan to make many more arrests in the case.
