The Claiborne County Police Department made up to 20 arrests earlier last week after a fight that broke out on campus at Alcorn State University.
Claiborne County Sheriff Frank Davis said they’ve been charged with simple assault and malicious mischief. Alcorn students on the scene captured the fight “on several cell phone cameras” and posted the video across social media.

ASU student Gabrielle Hall said the university represents “so much more than what that fight was, and at the end of the day we’re a family, things happen.”
History major at ASU Jami Eubanks agreed:
“It doesn’t affect the school, and it doesn’t affect who we are, because, you know, we have leadership and character and sometimes we all fall short. They’re young kids, they’re growing up, but they’ll learn.”
