Eatonton Police Department was called to Putnam County Primary School yesterday (May 24) regarding an alleged fight between two adults around 11 a.m.
As it turned out, the dispute was between a 15-year-old boy and his mother, according to a report by Sgt. Harold “Buddy” Bowman.
The two were visitors at the school, Bowman said. Witnesses told the officer that the teen took off his shoes and socks “and proceeded to chase his mother across the school grounds,” Bowman wrote in his report. “It is unknown if a physical altercation had happened,” he added.
The mother was no longer at the scene, Bowman said, most likely because there are outstanding warrants for her arrest.
The teen was taken into custody on charges of disorderly conduct and disrupting public school. He was turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice and taken to Wilkes County RYDC, according to the report.
The case remains under investigation, Chief Howell Cardwell said.
