Clinton Mother Sues For Son's Arrest For Shocking Camera
May 8, 2008, 10:21 AM EDT
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP)- The mother of a high school student in
Clinton has filed a federal lawsuit against the officer who
arrested her son for using a camera rigged to give an electric
shock.
Christian Haughwout, a ninth grader at The Morgan School, was
arrested last month after some students were apparently willingly
given shocks.
In juvenile court, he faces charges of possession of a dangerous
weapon on school grounds, attempted assault and breach of peace.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in New Haven federal court, accuses
Officer Kyle Strunjo of false arrest.
A previous federal lawsuit filed by the boy's parents was
withdrawn after Christian's suspension was reduced to five days the
discipline is being erased from his school record.
