4 People Charged for Cheering too Loud at Ceremony

Four people, all who attended the high school graduation ceremony in Senatobia, Mississippi, were sent a ticket for "disturbing the peace," after they allegedly cheered too loud for a family member graduating. It was sent two weeks later, and they could face a fine up to five hundred dollars if any one of them does not attend the court date. Ursula Millar is one of the victims of this punishment. She claimed at the graduation, all she had done was cheer the name of her niece, Lakaydra, repeatedly. While Henry Walker, the brother of Lakaydra, claimed all he did was cheer, " you did it baby," when his sister walked past him during the closing of the ceremony. The superintendent of the school, Jay Foster, reported multiple problems, about how the graduates missed their name cue, and audience members started to leave from the disruptions made by the four people. He agrees with the warrants given out to the family members, since he had asked the audience to hold their applause until the end.
