On January 16 at 2:55 p.m., a student at JP Ryon Elementary School assaulted another student in the classroom. When a teacher intervened, the student assaulted the teacher. School administrators were called and upon intervention, one administrator was bitten, and the other administrator was punched. In accordance with Maryland law, the student cannot be criminally charged due to their age. The student does face disciplinary action by the school per the Charles County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct and was referred to the Department of Juvenile Services. PFC Hancock is investigating.
