A ten-year-old black girl has been arrested for attacking her teacher in class and charged with felony battery

Miesha Bryant, from Orange County, is a fifth grade student at Zellwood Elementary school. A deputy was called to her classroom after she hit her teacher in the stomach and threatened to kill her family. Miesha admitted that she threw a temper tantrum after her teacher took away a bag of candy she brought to school. A spokesperson for the Orange County Sheriff's Office said that the law is clear: if you hit a school employee, it's a felony, it doesn't matter how old you are. Miesha has been suspended rather than expelled from school as she is so young. The State Attorney's Office will decide in 21 days if she goes through a trial or qualifies for a diversion program.
