A 17 Year-Old Spearman Student Was Arrested For Assaulting A School Teacher (VIDEO)

A Spearman school teacher was assaulted by a 17 year-old Spearman student.

On Tuesday a 17 year-old Spearman high school student was arrested for striking a teacher upside the head with a text book.

The attack happened just before 10 a.m. and right after the second period class. The student was taken to the school office where the police came to arrest him.

When police arrived and tried to take the student into custody he was being uncooperative and the Spearman Police had to use force in order to arrest the student.

Spearman Chief of Police Robert Baker told ConnectAmarillo.com"We handled the situation as best we could at the moment with what we had to deal with." He continued by saying, "The student was not going to cooperate and he had to be restrained and we did what we had to do, we didn't use any more force than necessary."
