Aggravated battery: A student at a school in the 8100 block of Okeechobee Boulevard told police his classmate was badgering him, using inappropriate language and making crude comments about a family member. He did not report the matter to a teacher. The student said he touched the classmate’s backpack, claiming he wanted to look at a book inside it. This angered the classmate, who dared him to touch the backpack again. The student did touch it, and admitted he knew it would irritate his classmate. It did. The classmate grabbed his pen and struck the student in the back. A teacher intervened and sent the student to the school nurse for treatment of his puncture wound. Police spoke to the pen-wielding classmate, who claimed his victim had been calling him names and poking him in the side. The school decided to give the classmate a five-day suspension.
