No criminal charges were filed, but the student who punched another student for holding a pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School last week received a two-day suspension and is back in class.
The controversial and viral incident occurred around 1:45 p.m. on February 12 inside Lake Zurich High School at the main entrance.
Another student then walks up to Spud and tells him, “Yeah I’m going to punch you in the face.”.
A security guard, who was standing just feet away from the two, immediately intervenes and keeps back the student who punched Spud.
Some people praised the student who punched Spud, while others called for criminal charges and disciplinary action against the student.
Lake Zurich Police Chief Steve Husak confirmed to Lake & McHenry County Scanner that officers, who were already on school property to monitor the walkout, responded to the incident.
No charges were filed because Spud said he does not intend to pursue criminal charges against the student who punched him. »
