The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office says a school resource officer who used a Taser on a 17-year-old student did nothing wrong.
Authorities said Teresa Bova, a student at Lake Norman High School, was sent to the principal’s office Tuesday for being disruptive in class.
Police said as Bova was escorted to the office by a school resource officer, she tried to go in a different direction and then became combative.
The resource officer put handcuffs on her, but said she continued to resist, even swiveling out of the handcuffs twice.
Police said Bova may have been under the influence of drugs and that her eyes were dilated and she was slurring her words.
