A Wilkesboro father is raising questions about how Wilkes County Schools officials handled an incident involving his son, who authorities say was assaulted with a broom handle in a locker room at Wilkes Central High School in April.
Five male Wilkes Central students, ranging in age from 15 to 18, have been charged in the incident involving Jovan Millerâs 15-year-old son. During the incident, a student âshoved a broom handle against the victimâs buttocks,â and another student held him down, according to court documents.

The 18-year-olds were charged with misdemeanor simple assault. Juvenile records are sealed in North Carolina, so itâs unclear what the younger students were charged with.
