A member of LeGrand's family confronted a parent who made comments during the game. Deidrea LeGrand walked over to learn what was said and a fight erupted, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
Deputy Robert Milton, the East Lincoln school resource officer, was providing off-duty security at the game. He requested backup from other sheriff's deputies, and six people were issued citations and escorted out of the school.
