ROWAN COUNTY, NC– An altercation at West Rowan High School left a teacher facing assault charges.
Reports say teacher and coach, Brian Linville, was in a classroom when one of his students took his school issued laptop that was on Mr. Linville’s desk.
When the student tried to leave the classroom with the computer, Mr. Linville reportedly stood in front of the student, telling him to go back to his seat.
The student then reportedly pushed Linville in the chest, that’s when authorities say Linville picked up the student and threw him to the ground.
The schools resource officer, Ryan Walker, conducted an investigation into the incident and discovered a student captured a video of the altercation.
Resource Deputy Walker served a criminal summons on Brian Linville Friday. Investigators say the 15-year-old juvenile could face disorderly conduct charges as well.
