SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Authorities have arrested a Utah high school student who is accused of attacking a school resource officer.
Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley says the incident began Thursday at Granger High School when the teen and other students became belligerent after they were given truancy notices.
After a school district police officer arrived, a 6-foot, 200-pound junior started yelling profanities and refused to go to the administration office.
As the teen become more aggressive, Horsley says the officer used his Taser but it didn't work. The teen and the officer wrestled on the ground, with the teen trying to grab the Taser.
After the teen was finally subdued, he was booked into juvenile detention center on suspicion of resisting arrest and trying to take an officer's weapon.
