Two students were arrested early Sunday morning at what has been hailed the ‘best prom in America.’
Ryan Adams, 18, of Second Street in Levittown, and Tyler Wachter, 18, of Bedford Road in Fairless Hills, were both charged with aggravated assault of an officer, agent or employee, aggravated assault, simple assault and disorderly conduct. Adams also faces a defiant trespass charge.

Adams, according to court documents, exited the prom at Pennsbury High School and was spotted by a teacher re-entering the building just after midnight. The school’s policy states that once a student leaves the prom, they can not re-enter.
Adams then pushed the teacher who got in front of the 18-year-old and told him he had to leave after breaking the prom rule, police said. After moving back, according to court papers, the teacher was aided by an assistant principal who began to escort Adams out of the school.
Outside the east campus’ “noodle” exit, Adams was upset and yelling as school officials talked with him, police said. His friend, Wachter, then reportedly came over and began yelling that his friend be left alone.

According to police, the school principal tired to get Wachter to calm down, but he refused and told the administrator, “F–k you!”
Wachter became “aggressive” as a growing number of school officials tried to calm and move him, police said. As more school officials came to calm Wachter down, the 18-year-old became more aggressive and began swinging his arms and shoulders, court documents state.

Police said Wachter’s elbow “connected” with the left eye of a Pennsbury uniformed police officer and caused the public safety officials to stumble back. A red, raised bump near the eye was left behind, according to court documents.
School officials were able to hold Wachter and get one cuff on him until a Falls Township police officer working a prom detail arrived.
Both were arraigned and set to Bucks County Prison in Doylestown on 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
