The father of a Dell H. Robison High School student is facing charges of child abuse and assault after he allegedly got into a fight involving his son and another student.
Jose Montes, 39, checked himself into the Clark County Detention Center Monday morning after Clark County School District Police contacted his attorney, according to Lt. Bryan Zink.
The fight took place near the school on Wednesday April 12 and the police learned of it the next day.
