Employee Called Authorities After Second Attack
NEW ORLEANS, 12:26 p.m. CST March 21, 2001 -- A New Orleans teacher was arrested Tuesday in connection with the beating of a special education student.
The teacher, David Thompson, 36, was arrested at John McDonogh 32 in Algiers. He was booked on two counts of felony cruelty to a juvenile due to the apparent force used in the attack.
Police said that Thompson hit the 11-year-old student several times on the head with a wooden ruler until it broke, resulting in a bloody nose and bruises on the child's face.
A school employee said that she saw Thompson attack the child again in a hallway and called police.
Thompson was taken to Central Lock-Up.
NOPD Child Abuse Detective Aaron Blackwell is in charge of the investigation.
