Teen Hits Corrections Officer

A teen who caused over $5,700 in damages inside the Juvenile Center last week - is now facing additional charges for attacking a corrections officer.
Saline County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski tells KSAL News that 14-year-old Micah Lorenzano is now facing a felony charge of battery against a corrections officer after he became violent on Sunday evening.
Lorenzano allegedly became combative with two other teens during a break outside in the recreation area.
A corrections officer stepped in and was hit by Lorenzano.
Salina Police officers were called to help control the youth who gave up when a taser was aimed at him.
Last week the boy damaged a washer/dryer set, plus several computers and a TV.

Put this kid in with the tough guys you got in the adult section and shut down the camera's. I bet this punk gets his butt whipped but good and you will see him crying to get out of there..

The officer needed to meet force with force it sounds like to me. An arm bar probably wouldn't have been out of the question.

Kids like this are usually dead by the time they are 16 then all the family cries about it. The same will happen here he will pick on someone who will put a bullit in his head and that will be the end of the story.
