Police officer injured in fights at Belleville High School basketball game

Bellevillle Police Cpl. Todd Schrecengost was head-butted by a 17-year-old student from Ypsilanti Lincoln schools outside of a basketball game on Dec. 15 at Belleville High School.
Belleville Police Chief Hal Berriman said Cpl. Schrecengost sought medical attention at a hospital for the cut on his forehead.
Chief Berriman said there were two separate incidents at BHS. Cpl. Schrecengost and Cpl. Kris Faull were at the school and two young men started fighting right in front of the officers. The officers broke it up and were placing the two in the scout car when another fight broke out.
When they went to break that fight up, one fighter jerked his head up and head-butted Schrecengost.
All four were conveyed to the lockup at Van Buren Township Police Department and one was ticketed and released. Another posted bond and was released and two more were awaiting felony charges from the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office because of the assault on a police officer, Chief Berriman said.
None of those involved were Belleville students, Chief Berriman said. All those involved in the fights were 17-year-old students from Ypsilanti Lincoln, he said.
BHS was playing Dearborn at the time.
