Update on Hazing incident.
The Clark County Sheriff's Office has been working with the Evergreen School District to investigate this incident. During the investigation the School Resource Deputy met with and interviewed all of the people involved. Based on all of the information received it appears that there were a total of three students that could be considered victims.
Working with the parents of the students and officials from the school district, it was determined to let the school district handle all of the discipline for this incident. The School Resource Deputy will be completing a report and forwarding it to the Clark County Prosecutor's Office with a recommendation that no charges be filled.
In this specific case no charges are being referred to the Prosecutor's Office. It is important to note that the Clark County Sheriff's Office takes these sort of incidents very seriously. We will continue to investigate claims of assault and bulling as they come to light.
