9 Farmersville High School students arrested for hazing
FARMERSVILLE, Texas - Nine students are facing charges related to hazing in the Collin County city of Farmersville.
The Farmersville ISD Police Department said the offenses involved multiple victims and multiple suspects at Farmersville High School.
The school district would not provide any details about what happened because minors were involved.
The first suspect was arrested on Sept. 26, when the initial outcry was made.
District police have since identified eight additional suspects who are facing criminal charges.
