In reply to the discussion: Student arrested after video mocking Charlie Kirk mourners goes viral [View all]Daveigh
(62 posts)17. Allegedly, for "shoving several people"
Since youre seeking info, I can share whats been reported, but I certainly cant speak to the veracity of the charges. Obviously shes simply been accused; shes not guilty of a single offense.

The situation then escalated when Booker allegedly shoved several people, including an elderly veteran and a young mother with her child - which prompted a physical altercation that spread into the street.
Booker was then taken into custody and was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and was cited for assault.
She was released on a $200 bond the next day, the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office confirmed to the Daily Mail.
Reports online said that she was expelled from the school for her behavior - however Texas Tech has not confirmed the move.

NO. It doesn't say what she DID. It says what arresting officers CLAIM she did. (nt)

No, its not... but it IS the district attorney's job to elect not to prosecute and dismiss the matter outright.
