Oklahoma City mother accused of slapping, punching two teachers | NewsOK.com

Some WTF highlights:

Quote:

SPENCER — The mother of two Oklahoma City Public Schools students is accused of striking two teachers at two schools Monday morning.
ADVERTISEMENT

Everlyn Davis, 41, is in the Oklahoma County jail on a complaint of assault and battery on a school official.
The mother went to Willow Brook Elementary School, where she has a child enrolled, school district spokeswoman Tierney Tinnin said.
A teacher greeted the mother, and the mother slapped her in the face, Tinnin said. She left her child at school.
The mother then went to Rogers Middle School for a conference with the principal and another school official, Tinnin said. A teacher greeted the woman's son, a seventh-grader, and the mother punched the teacher in the eye.
“We cannot tolerate this type of activity,” Tinnin said. “We don't want them to worry about coming to school and worrying about being assaulted.”
Neither of the teachers who were assaulted taught the mother's children, Tinnin said.

Auto correct error causes Georgia high school lockdown *| ajc.com

GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Authorities say West Hall High School went on lockdown thanks to an auto correct error in a text message that was accidentally sent to the wrong number by a student.

The Gainesville Times reports that a student at Lanier Technical College unintentionally sent the text message that meant to say "gunna be at west hall today" but auto correct changed the first word to "gunman."

When someone in the West Hall community received the text message on Wednesday, they alerted law enforcement. A lockdown was placed at West Hall high school and middle schools and was lifted after authorities traced the message to the student and realized the text was not a threat.

Hall County Sheriff's office spokesman Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks says the student had no intentions of harm.


.... although before we say much about the overzealous nature of security, probably have to consider both the timing (day after the Ohio incident) AND this story from my HS alma mater that happened yesterday as well

Pickens High student accused of having pipe bomb *| ajc.com
A Pickens High School student is in custody over an apparent pipe bomb, the Pickens County Sheriff's Office said.

Charges are pending after authorities said they responded to a suspicious device, which appeared to be a pipe bomb, Wednesday around 4:30 p.m. at the student's residence.

Investigators believe the student had the device, which was deemed an explosive, on school property earlier in the day.

Law enforcement officials, working with the Pickens County Board of Education, searched the school and pronounced it safe for everyone to return Thursday. Extra deputies will be on hand, the sheriff’s office said.

The investigation is continuing.

It's like the Circle of [Media] Life


In this photo taken Wednesday, March 14, 2012, a two-week old earless bunny sits on the hands of a keeper at the zoo in Limbach-Oberfrohna, eastern Germany. The bunny that was a rising star on Germany's celebrity animal scene had its 15 minutes of fame brought to an abrupt end when he was accidentally stepped on by a television cameraman. The fate of 17-day-old Til the bunny with a genetic defect was plastered across German newspapers on Thursday, the same day a small zoo in Saxony was to have presented him to the world at a press conference. The unidentified cameraman who had been filming the bunny in its enclosure Wednesday told Bild he hadn't seen Til, who had buried himself in hay, when he took a step backward.

Metro police shocked by man's wild crime spree - WSMV Channel 4

Some funny stuff in this article:

Officers said Todd broke into the Slaughterhouse and stole a Taser, revolver and shotgun. Then, they said he shot the business up, stole a T-shirt and set the business on fire.

Police said Todd then found four people leaving a local bar. He held them at gunpoint, tased one, pistol whipped another, then took off with their cash and credit cards.

Five minutes later investigators said Todd carjacked a cab at gunpoint, then headed off to commit fraud, and used his newly acquired stolen credit cards to buy food.

"He was able to find the Walmart on Nolensville. He goes there and purchased $199 worth of items," said Blackburn.

Next stop: Hotel Indigo at 6 a.m.

Police said Todd broke into a law office there, ransacked the business then defecated on a desk, smearing feces on some of the framed law degrees.

He then knocked on several hotel room doors pretending to be a female housekeeper.
In one case, police said Todd stole $600 from a Canadian couple at gunpoint, crying the whole time.

Before taking off in his stolen cab once again, officers said Todd opted for a new look.
"We have him on video leaving the hotel with a shaved head," said Blackburn.

At 9 a.m., police said Todd crashed the stolen cab into a parking garage.

At 11:30 a.m., he hailed a new one and headed to Opryland, then held the cab driver at knifepoint.

Police finally caught up with Todd at noon. They said he was hiding on top of Opryland, submerged in a water-cooling vat with water up to his nose.
