According to authorities, the girl who was punched by Bennett Wyche admitted that she was punching his daughter when he struck her, knocking her to the floor. Wyche was arrested last September by Hollywood police after the brawl during a girls' basketball game at the Washington Park Community Center. According to an investigative complaint by the Broward County school district, a student became upset when he was told he couldn't go to a school dance because of his behavioral issues. Wyche remains employed by the Broward County Public School District, but had been reassigned away from students during the ongoing investigation into the basketball game brawl.
