Teen charged in reform school assault
SUMMIT TWP — A student was arrested after state police say he attacked two staff members at the Summit Academy reform school.
Kenan M. Johnson, 18, of suburban Baltimore is in the Butler County Prison on $50,000 bail. He faces felony assault and other charges.
Troopers were called to the school on Herman Road in Summit Township for the altercation involving a student and employees about 8:15 a.m. Monday, state police said.
The facility program director recounted that Johnson's refusal to go to class apparently sparked the incident, according to court documents.
Three staff members found the teenager standing in the hallway, not in the classroom where he belonged. When the employees tried to move him along, he allegedly screamed profanities.
