WEATHERFORD, Texas – One student was arrested and Weatherford High School’s homecoming dance had to be evacuated in separate incidents on Saturday.
Off-duty Weatherford police officers who were working security at the dance in the school gym arrested a 17-year-old student after an altercation with a school administrator.
