CARLSBAD, NM -- An administrator at a Carlsbad Montessori School could be facing charges for pushing a student against a wall.
The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports that Ron Christopher -- the Dean of Students at Jefferson Montessori Academy -- is accused of pushing an 11-year-old boy against a wall at the school.
The November 28th incident incident reportedly left the boy with bruises, back and neck pain.
Christopherson allegedly told police that he tried to grab the boy by the arm when he ran down the hall, but grabbed his sleeve instead, sending the boy bouncing into the wall by accident.
However, the boy reportedly said that Christopherson stopped him and asked him if he was running.
When the boy said that he hadn't been running, Christopherson reportedly pushed the boy against a wall, squeezed his wrist for 20 seconds and told him to stop lying.
Now, the boy's parents tell The Carlsbad Current-Argus that they'll be pressing criminal assault charges against Christopherson.
