CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A police officer at Riverside High School wound up in a fight with a mother and a student as he tried to escort them off school property today.
It all started with a bad situation that wound up getting a lot worse.
A fight broke out in the girls' bathroom about 11 a.m. today. Students had gathered to watch.
The fight was broken up by teachers, along with the on-duty school resource officer, Sgt. B.D. Reynolds, according to a statement issued by Kanawha County Sheriff's Lt. Bryan Stover.
During the commotion, a 15-year-old girl became belligerent and started cursing at one of the teachers, Stover said. The girl was escorted to Principal Paula Potter's office, where she was suspended for her behavior and aggression toward the teacher, Stover said.
The girl's mother, Tina Williams, 36, was called to pick her up from the high school in Quincy, but when she arrived she was very upset.
Williams started causing a disturbance in the school and tried to search the hallway for the teacher her daughter was accused of behaving aggressively toward, Stover said. Williams made threats toward the teacher, according to the deputy's statement.
Reynolds was able to stop Williams and escort her and her daughter out of the building. Williams refused to leave school property, and Reynolds placed her under arrest.
While Reynolds was trying to handcuff Williams, the girl approached the officer and punched him in the face. more
