A hearing will be held Wednesday morning at 9am for Williamson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney, reports WSMV.
Dr. Looney is charged with two counts of assault.
UPDATE: All Charges Dismissed Against Dr. Looney
The first charge stems from an incident that occurred at Franklin High School on Feb 20 in which a female student was having a “psychological emergency,” states a Franklin Police Department press release.
“While working with the student, the student’s mother, and school staff to transport the student to the hospital, Dr. Looney abruptly entered the conference room, grabbed the student by her arm, and forced her out of the school and to his vehicle. Officers intervened and had on-scene paramedics transport the student to the emergency room for evaluation,” states the FPD release.
