A young offender has pled guilty to charges stemming from an incident involving the principal of the Swift Current Comprehensive High School.

     The 16-year old admitted to punching the principal in the face last week, and entered a guilty plea for common assault in Swift Current Provincial Court.  He also pled guilty to one charge of possession of marijuana.

     The youth has been released on bail, and the case has been adjourned to January for a pre-sentence report and a psychological evaluation.
