High School student tasered after refusing to go to the principal's office
A 17-year-old Ypsilanti High School student was tasered today after police say he refused to go to the principal’s office.
Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Derrick Jackson said the student was being unruly in the hallway and was being escorted to the principal’s office by school Deputy John Campbell.
Jackson said the student yanked away and refused to go to the office. He said the incident escalated, and the deputy deployed his taser to get the student under control and maintain the safety of school personnel.
Jackson said the student was arrested and taken to the Washtenaw County Jail. He said the incident is still under investigation.
Emma Jackson, a spokeswoman for the district, referred comment to the sheriff's department.

going to jail for not going to the principals office!? AND GETTING TASERED!!?? theres a pattern in all of this that most people arnt seeing...do you see it? i do!
SCHOOL IS PURE EVIL AND IT MUST BE STOPED!!!!!! THINK ABOUT IT!!!
Freaking out doesnt do anything =_= And the problem isn't the school its that the officer tazed and arrested a student for simply refusing to go to the office. What he did is overreacting to the extreme.
tasering kids is un AMERICAN. It is NAZI tactics that is the trouble with these cops oin the schools they hate kids and this isn't real police work it is a miloitary junta.
