Fired over a food fight

BUCKHANNON, W.Va. (AP) - July 23, 2009

A West Virginia high school principal has been canned, following a cafeteria food fight.

The Upshur County Board of Education voted this week to send Brenda Wells packing.

The Buckhannon-Upshur High principal admits she jumped on top of a pile of students.

She says she did it to relieve the tension and to stop the food fight.

Wells says it was done in fun.

Wells adds she was off the so-called dog pile before you could count to one.
