Saturday’s scrimmage came one week after Dauphin County District attorney Fran Chardo told PennLive that his office had started working with local policeChardo told PennLive that Dauphin County detectives began investigating the incident after a pair of graphic videos circulated on social media. “We will not tolerate acts that demean, humiliate or cause bodily harm,” he added. “We are taking this very seriously.”
“It’s been hard because you have a lot of people taking pokes from the outside that don’t understand everything,” he said. “Obviously, we can’t go into things because it’s still an ongoing investigation. But, you know, I’m trying to do what’s best for our whole culture at our school district. So, I’m meeting with our kids on Tuesday, and all the fall student athletes just so we can talk about our culture and the steps we’re looking to move forward with.
