We almost didn't believe this story until we read all of the details. Apparently throwing a paper airplane is serious business nowadays!

School resource officer and Georgetown County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Glover decided to charge Elliott with third-degree assault and battery, a misdemeanor, after the 17-year-old said he was trying to hit McIver in the head with the paper plane. McIver instead was hit in the eye, which appeared very red, The South Strand News reported. McIver recently had had ocular surgery.
“If any employee believes a crime has taken place, we report it,” said Alan Walters, the director of Safety and Risk Management for the Georgetown County School District. “Law enforcement makes a decision if a crime occurred or not and, if it did, whether they choose to file charges or not.”

What do you think of this? Should this student be thrown in jail for throwing a paper airplane, or did the school resource officer overreact? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
