Re: Felony/ Battery 2nd Degree Arrest

A Texarkana Arkansas woman is in jail after assaulting a teacher at Union Elementary School.

Texarkana Arkansas Police were called to Union Elementary School shortly before 11:30am in reference to a report of a trespasser. Officers contacted the suspect, Victoria Glass (b/f/26 Texarkana, AR), as she was attempting to leave the school.

During the course of the investigation officers learned that the suspect came to the school and confronted the victim, Pamela Grissom, who was in her classroom. The confrontation stemmed from a personal matter that was not related to school business. The suspect began verbally abusing the victim and then reportedly struck her in the face. Witnesses confirmed the events. The victim sustained swelling to her mouth and was otherwise shaken from the incident.

The fight was separated by school employees and the suspect was contacted by police as she tried to leave.

It should also be noted that there were no students presesnt during the altercation, and the suspect was never in contact with any of the students.

The suspect has been charged with Battery 2nd which is a felony charge, due to the fact that the victim is a school employee, and the incident occurred on school property. The suspect has been booked into the Bi-State Jail and is awaiting a court appearance. There is no bond at this time.
