Teen Suspected In Dublin High Assault Arrested

BREAKING: Police said the arrest was in connection with an alleged assault that occurred on Oct. 23.

DUBLIN, CA — Dublin police arrested a 15-year-old Dublin High School student in connection with an assault of another student that occurred at the school in October, police said Friday. Police have not released the identity of the student arrested.

The arrest stemmed from an investigation into the assault of a 14-year-old female student that occurred on Oct. 23. The student arrested is male. Police said the 15-year-old and the 14-year-old were engaged in a fight stemming from a racial slur made by another student. The female student started the fight. The male student was arrested, processed and released to his parents, who declined to press charges against the female student.

On Thursday, a 20-year-old former Dublin High School student was arrested for allegedly threatening to blow up the school because she was upset about a social media article she saw about the assault. Taylor Mychelle Pearson told police she called in the bomb threat to the school because she was upset about how the investigation into the incident was being handled.
