A group of students got off an Okaloosa County school bus at the corner of 7th Avenue and 8th Street in Shalimar. One yelled for another to hurry with the camera. An adult male voice shouted, "Knock it off!" One student dropped a backpack and the fight began.

"I know I had four or five of them kicking at me," said Kenneth Oliver, 54, who saw the altercation begin the moment the students stepped off the bus.

The video shows Oliver rushing to the road to try to separate the teens.

"I don't like seeing one person beat up on another," Oliver said. "I had one of them kicking me while I said, ‘You all don't need to be doing this.' "

According to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office offense report, a group of boys followed the victim and his friends off the bus. The victim continued to walk, even though another student hit him in the back of the head, according to witness statements in the offense report. There was no mention of why the group was fighting.

The report also noted a witness said the victim didn't fight back.

"The main aggressor dropped his backpack and then there were flailing fists," Oliver recalled. "I didn't know why they were fighting. I just wanted the one kid to have the chance to get away."

Oliver put himself between the victim and the other boys, the report stated. The video shows the same.

That's when Oliver became the target. One teen punched Oliver in the eye, breaking his glasses. Oliver shouted for his wife to call the Sheriff's Office and he tried to hold the teen that struck him until help arrived.

The group began to hit and kick Oliver, the report said. Two adult women appear in the video at that point, yelling and watching the fight. One screamed at Oliver to let her son go.
"I told her I was holding him until a deputy got there," Oliver explained.

Another student tried to help Oliver and the victim and he was punched in the face three times, according to the offense report.

When a deputy arrived, the siren on the patrol unit scattered the group. The "boys broke up and ran," the report said.

As the fight ended, one teen noticed the camera present and went to the student who was recording the incident. You can hear him on the video saying, "Delete it. Delete it."

An adult woman became physically involved then, the report said. She did not have a child involved in the altercation. Kambrea Dena Pride, 29, is accused of hitting a girl on the left side of her face several times and chipping her tooth in at least two places. Pride was arrested for felony aggravated battery and admitted to striking the girl, her arrest report said. The report noted Pride was attempting to get the camera away from the victim.

Darius Shaborne Johnson, 19, was arrested for a misdemeanor battery charge for hitting and kicking Oliver while Oliver tried to pull one teen off the male juvenile victim.

Three male juveniles, 15 and 16, were also arrested on misdemeanor battery charges for their part in the fight. Their names and the victims' names are not being released because of their ages.

"We're just really grateful Mr. Oliver stepped in to help," the male victim's father said. "It could have been worse if he hadn't been there."

"It's just what you should do," Oliver said. "I don't understand why other people wouldn't step up to help."
The video from the Sept. 9 incident, and one from Sept. 5 involving some of the same teens, is part of the evidence collected by the Sheriff's Office. The case is under investigation.

A representative from Okaloosa County Schools said it was their policy to not comment on a student's disciplinary action, if there was any taken.

If it was up to me they wouldn't live to be 54 years old.

What's funny is that even though there were 4-5 of them, they still couldn't find a way to do much damage.. pathetic, weak, useless people. I get the feeling this is why there's gun crimes.
