Teen charged in Antigonish school altercation pleads guilty

One of two teens arrested in relation to a hold-and-secure at a local school has entered a pair of guilty pleas in the case.

RCMP say officers were called to Dr. J.H. Gillis Regional High in Antigonish in November.

They say one person suffered minor injuries when they were assaulted by two others.

A 17-year-old and 14-year-old were charged with assault; the 17-year-old also faced a breach charge.

The boys, who were released on conditions to have no contact with the victim, had election-and-plea hearings in Antigonish Youth Court Wednesday; the 17-year-old pleaded guilty to both his charges and was sentenced to eight months probation, while the 14-year-old had his case adjourned until March 4.

In a letter, school officials told parents and guardians a hold-and-secure was in place for roughly 15 minutes during the altercation.
