The following accounts were taken from reports filed with the Columbia County Sheriff's office.
School fight
Two students were charged Wednesday for fighting at Evans High School.
Shaikma Harris, 19, of the 4800 block of Hereford Farm Road, and a 15-year-old girl, whose name wasn't released because of her age, were both charged with affray, said Columbia County sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
There were no injuries. Morris said the incident occurred at 2:45 p.m., when Harris and the 15-year-old got into a verbal argument, which turned into a physical fight.
Morris said Harris was taken to the Columbia County Detention Center with her bond set at $550. The juvenile was released to her parents.
