CINCINNATI, Ohio – A mother accused of helping her 15-year-old daughter beat another teenage girl at a Cincinnati high school last week is defending her actions and says that police and school officials have it all wrong.

Precious Allen, 31, told The Cincinnati Enquirer that the other teenage girl attacked her and her daughter last Thursday at Withrow High School, and that the teen was bigger and taller than both of them.

Allen, a mother of five, said she was talking to a teacher when the girl cursed at her and charged, and that she’s confident that school videos will prove her and her daughter’s innocence.

Police said that Allen burst into a classroom, held the other teen down and told her daughter to hit the girl in the face with a combination lock. The girl, who also was kicked and punched, suffered cuts and bruises, and police say that Allen’s daughter also gave a teacher a black eye.

Allen faces charges of felonious assault and trespassing. Full Article

MILFORD Massachusetts - An alleged shoplifter was hit with a stun gun as he tried to escape from Target in Milford, according to police.

Milford Patch reports that man, identified as Michael Pete Harding, 50, of Grafton was trying to swipe a shopping cart full of items that included several cases of Red Bull, Tide detergent, and packages of Justin Bieber valentines.

Police believe he planned to resell the items.

While Harding was in the store, Target’s store security recognized him as having shoplifted from the store in the past, so they called police.

An officer was waiting for him as he tried to run out the doors.

Harding allegedly tried to punch the officer, and was hit with a stun gun in response. Full Article
