A North Carolina district attorney said the high schooler caught on a viral cellphone video slapping a teacher in the face last month will be tried as an adult.
According to Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill, the student in question — 17-year-old Aquavious Hickman — stated he would kill the female Parkland High School teacher, WRAL-TV reported.
What’s the background?
In the April 15 video, the teacher remains seated and offers no resistance as the student slaps her twice in the face; the second slap sends the teacher’s glasses flying.
“The f***’s wrong with you?” the student asks the teacher after the physical attack. “What you gonna do, still sit in that chair ’cause you a bitch … ain’t nobody even coming, you got slapped, bitch go back to teaching …”
