EDINBURGH — Edinburgh Police Chief Doyne Little Jr. confirmed that the cancellation of last week’s Homecoming football game and related events was a result of a criminal harassment investigation involving two football players.
According to Chief Little, police were called to the high school on Thursday following a report of harassment that originated from an argument between the two players during practice. A criminal investigation is currently underway, and findings will be submitted to the Johnson County Prosecutor’s Office to determine if criminal charges are warranted.
The Edinburgh School Corporation made the decision to cancel the game and all associated activities. The school announced the cancellation of the game against Milan on Friday afternoon, citing “unforeseen circumstances” at the time.
