Brawl Erupts at Calif. Kindergarten Graduation
School placed on lockdown after fight involving 20 adults; 2 women held
Two women have been arrested following a parents' brawl that interrupted a Southern California kindergarten graduation ceremony, authorities said. School officials placed Puesta del Sol Elementary in the desert town of Victorville on lockdown Wednesday morning after a fight broke out among a group of parents. The San Bernardino County sheriff's department says witnesses told deputies several mothers were involved in an argument and it got physical in a field near the ceremony. Several men then jumped into the fray and the incident turned into a brawl. A deputy later arrested two people on suspicion of being a disruptive presence at a school. Witnesses said they were the main instigators. In all, 20 adults were identified in the brawl. A school district official said there could be more arrests. No injuries were reported.

Driven to Distraction: 15 Cats in Car is too RiskyThe South Dakota Supreme Court has ruled that a police officer acted correctly when he seized 15 cats from a woman who was driving with the animals running free inside her car.
In a 3-2 decision Thursday, the justices ruled that the felines were a distraction and interfered with driver Patricia Edwards' ability to see where she was going. Chief Justice David Gilbertson said Edwards nearly backed into patrol car at a convenience store parking lot in Pierre, S.D., because of the moggies in her back window. The court said Edwards and her cats presented a significant risk to the public. Edwards was appealing a lower court ruling that transferred ownership of the cats to a humane society for adoption.
