NORTH CAROLINA MOM ACCUSED OF THROWING LIGHTER FLUID ON TEACHER
ABC13 ^ | 4/27/17

DURHAM, North Carolina -- A Durham woman was arrested after throwing lighter fluid on her son's Eno Valley Elementary School kindergarten teacher and threatening to burn the building down, according to an arrest warrant.

Durham police said that teacher Megan Jones had arranged a parent-teacher conference with Shequella Sheala Leonard, who became irate at accusations of her son's behavior.

About five minutes into the meeting, the school principal told Leonard that she needed to leave the building, and the group, which included Leonard's son, exited into a hallway, police said.

Once in the hallway, Jones told police that Leonard pulled a bottle from her purse and began spraying a liquid on Jones' arms, face, and chest. Jones ran away from Leonard when the liquid began burning her eyes, police said.

Leonard, 30, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, malicious use of explosives causing injury and misdemeanor communicating threats. Leonard was being held at the Durham County Detention Center under $50,000 bond. Her bond was increased to $500,000 in court Wednesday due to the severity of the charges.

Kindergarten is serious business.

“Durham police said that teacher Megan Jones had arranged a parent-teacher conference with Shequella Sheala Leonard”

No pictures needed with that name. It seems that every day in the news we have some black person going off the deep end.

I had a parent call me a bitch and slam the phone down on me once. Thank God for telephonic communication.

What a coincidence. That has to be, oh, perhaps the 25th person I’ve known or heard of with the name Shaquella that had a hard life, got in trouble a few times as a kid, was turning their life around, preparing to go to college, and an aspiring rapper.

Who brings a container of lighter fluid to a parent teacher meeting?

Was she going to a bar-b-que later? Did she have a dozen lighters she had to refuel?

Yep they had the meeting to discuss her son’s behavior.

Seeing as how the mother clearly has anger issues and a low boiling point, if the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, it’s easy to imagine the son caused trouble in school.........

Hard to imagine why this child would be acting out in kindergarten. Racism, perhaps?
