• Students, Parents Protest Treatment of Student by Security Guard (MyFoxLA) (http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/ContentDetail?contentId=4487143)
16-year-old Pleajhia Mervin said that she was asked by a security officer at Knight High School to clean up a piece of birthday cake that she dropped on the floor. She says she was asked and compiled three times. But then the security officer grabbed her and restrained her.
Mervin says the security guard slammed her against a table in the lunchroom and twisted her arms behind her back so violently, he broke her wrist. Her wrist is in a cast. She was arrested for battery and littering; she was also suspended for five days from school.
Two other students were arrested after the security guard realized that they were video taping the incident on their cellphones.
Mervin's mother, Latrisha Majors, was also arrested at the school for assault on an assistant school principle.
