A Polk County teacher is now facing child abuse charges after allegedly fighting with students outside a local McDonald’s.
According to WFLA, the teacher was arrested for fighting two students after a Bartow High School basketball game. Police said a group of students was involved in an altercation after the game that spilled over to the McDonald’s.
At the restaurant, one of the students involved in the altercation was approached by Liquindella Clark, a teacher for Polk County Schools and the mother of another student, who was also involved in the initial altercation.
Authorities said an agitated Clark aggressively went after the student who had been arguing with her child. The woman allegedly began cursing and threatening the kid and ultimately had to be removed from the restaurant.
That’s when cops stated Clark waited in the parking lot for the kids and initiated a physical fight with the kids. Police said Clark punched one kid in the face, snatched her wig off, and hit another student in the head area.
It’s not clear if she will be suspended from her teaching position pending an investigation.
