"The incident happened inside a math class at the school around 10:30 a.m. Monday. According to Lott, the student was supposed to be working on a project using her computer, but instead had her cellphone out. Lott said the girl didn't comply when her teacher told her multiple times to put away the device. An administrator (vice-principal) then came to the class, Lott said, and the student continued to refuse to obey their requests. Fields was then called to the room to remove the student from the room."
"Around 10:30 a.m., the girl who had the confrontation with the officer was working on her computer, and had her phone out, Robinson (a student in the class) said. He said the teacher asked her for her phone, but she said no. An administrator was then called to the room, and Robinson said the administrator pleaded with the girl to get out of her seat, but she didn't."
It was the VP's call to request the officer to remove the student.
