Smoking Mad

By Jerry Danzig

In the morning of Wednesday, May 29, a 17-year-old female student tried to enter her school on Amsterdam Avenue with an E-cigarette. As she passed through the scanners at the entrance, she was told to stop by to see the school safety agent, a 52-year-old woman. The girl refused and grabbed the safety agent by the collar. The agent tried to place the girl under arrest, but the girl resisted and the agent broke her pinkie finger in the scuffle. The agent was taken to the hospital, and the girl was arrested on May 29 and charged with felonious assault on a peace officer.
