EDDYVILLE – The student at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont High School who was accused of assault earlier this month is now facing criminal charges.

The incident took place on October 7, when authorities in Wapello County were notified of a male student allegedly assaulting other students at approximately 1:35pm. The Wapello County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation, which revealed that the student was also accused of breaking a classroom window and discharging a fire extinguisher. Multiple people were sent to the hospital as a result of the incident.

Following the investigation, deputies issued arrest warrants for 18-year-old Korbin Daniel Durbin of Fremont, and Durbin was arrested on October 17, when he turned himself in to the Wapello County Sheriff’s Office. He has since posted bond and has been released from custody, though he faces a total of 5 criminal charges, including 2 counts of simple assault, 4th degree criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and 3rd degree harassment.

The Wapello County Sheriff’s Office was assisted in their investigation by EBF school officials and the Wapello County Attorney’s Office.
