REX, Ga., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Two Georgia middle school teachers face charges after fighting in front of students over a love letter posted on Facebook, police said.

Investigators said the two female teachers at Rex Mill Middle School in Rex, Ga., are facing misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges for the profanity-laced fight on school grounds, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday. The fight also resulted in simple assault charges against one of the women.

The police report gives few details of the incident, but investigators said the confrontation revolved around a male teacher and a love letter posted on Facebook.

A Clayton County Public Schools representative did not return calls from the Journal-Constitution Thursday.
