2 students arrested at Denver's Thomas Jefferson High School

Two students are under arrest following a short disturbance at Thomas Jefferson High School.  

Denver police said one of the teenagers was trying to enroll in school when the school discovered he was wanted on a "significant felony warrant" from a nearby town. A school resource officer took him into custody.  

His sibling tried to intervene and was also arrested. Denver police responded to Thomas Jefferson High at 3950 S. Holly Street at the request of the SRO.

A Denver police spokesperson said they couldn't provide an arrest report or any other information as both students are minors, but the arrest comes after a CBS News Colorado investigation found 151 high-threat level students were in Denver Public Schools as of April and hundreds more were in other metro area schools.
