A 17-year-old Commerce High School student ended his school year on a bad note.


Police charged Christopher Lee Stokes of 203 Baugh Street, Commerce, with simple assault and disrupting a public school after he refused to calm down when he was sent to the office last Wednesday.

The report did not indicate why Stokes was sent to the office, only that once there he began cursing and threatened to fight (“whip your -ss”) the assistant principal.

The officer noted that as he was talking to Stokes, Stokes continued to curse the officer.

I don't think Chris should've taken his anger out on the police officer but, being a former student at CHS, I'm pretty sure the Assistant Principle deserved it.

The assistant principle is Mr. Canup....This kid must
be out of his mind to think of jumping on him.
