Coconut Creek, FL (November 16, 2018) – In Coconut Creek, a student was accused of fighting with another student in her classroom. The teen was arrested for the incident after the altercation started making rounds on social media.
The teen was identified as a 15-year old sophomore. Her name has been released but because she is a minor, we will not include it in this story. She has been accused of pummeling another girl at her school in Coconut Creek. Parents were stunned when they saw the video going around on social media. Yesterday, November 15, the teenager was arrested for misdemeanor battery.
The 15-year-old said that she fractured her hand while she repeatedly punched the classmate. She said the reason why she did it was that she had been enduring verbal abuse for several years. The teen received juvenile charges for her crime.
