SAN ANTONIO, April 13 (UPI) -- A 17-year-old girl whose alleged attack
on a San Antonio teacher caused a public outcry is being sought by
police after allegedly trying to strangle a school bus driver.
Northside School District spokesman Larry Meyer says today the
girl,
who has not been identified, tried to strangle a bus driver with a nylon
cord after he ordered her not to stand up on the bus.
The driver was treated for minor injuries, and the girl fled
after
the attack.
She was released from a juvenile detention facility last month
and
ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device.
Police looking for the girl say they believe she has removed
the
device.
Bexar County prosecutor Steve Hilbig is trying to get the girl
certified as an adult on charges she attacked a reading teacher at Taft
High School in January, when she was only 16.
Some parents were outraged that Northside school officials could
not
expel the girl following the attack. State law allows expulsion only if
an assault on a teacher qualifies as a felony assault.
Meyer says the attack on the driver is severe enough to get the
girl
expelled.
Charges in the case are pending.
