“A number of people were taken into custody after a brawl broke out during a high school graduation in Ripley, Tennessee, on May 14”
DISPUTED
The evidence provided describes a brawl at a kindergarten graduation in Ohio, not a high school graduation in Ripley, Tennessee. The web search results specifically mention a 'Catholic kindergarten graduation in Ohio' and a woman being arrested, which directly contradicts the location and level of schooling specified in the claim.
