Six arrested for cheering at high school graduation

Six people have been arrested for cheering for friends and relatives at a high school graduation in Rock Hill, S.C. Audience members at the ceremony at Fort Mill High School were told to hold their applause until the end, but some couldn’t resist cheering and clapping for family members, prompting police officers to swoop in and charge them with disorderly conduct. Jonathan Orr, 21, applauded for his cousin and was dragged out, handcuffed and taken to a jail cell. William Massey, 19, “clapped and gave a little whoop” when his fiancée’s name was called and now faces 30 days’ imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. The police acted at the behest of principal Dee Christopher, who said he thought it was important to prevent graduations from being disrupted by anyone having a good time.
