High school girl accused of attacking teacher with stun gun caught on camera

SEMMES, Ala. (AP) – Authorities say a high school girl in south Alabama faces a felony assault charge after attacking a teacher with a stun gun.

Mobile County sheriff’s officials say a video shows the girl trying to fight another girl Thursday afternoon at Mary G. Montgomery High School outside Mobile. Authorities said that when a teacher tried to break up the fight, the teen used the stun gun and then ran.

Mobile County Sgt. Joseph Mahoney tells Al.com that deputies caught the girl and arrested her.

Sheriff’s officials say she was taken to a youth detention center and charged with felony assault in connection with the attack on the teacher; and misdemeanor assault for striking the other girl in the face.

Mahoney said the girl’s name isn’t being released because she’s a minor.
