Police have arrested a teaching assistant from New York state for allegedly paying one student to punch another of his classmates.
Lisa Hutchinson, 41 of Whitesboro, is a teaching assistant at New Hartford BOCES.
The mother-of-two was arrested on Friday after police alleged that she made a deal with another student to punch them on her behalf.
She then allegedly paid the student $50 to carry out the assault.
A student is said to have received the money but did not end up carrying out the act.
Hutchinson has been charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child according to WSYR.
Sheriff’s deputies said she paid the money, but the student did not follow through with the attack. She is pictured here on Facebook, looking very different from her mugshot picture
She was released on an appearance ticket. Hutchinson will be arraigned at New Hartford Town Court at a later date.
Hutchinson acknowledged the incident occurring on her Facebook page together with a link to a news incident reporting the details:
‘I’m just putting this out here for everyone…yes this is me, and anyone that truly knows me. Well you know, and if you don’t please keep your comments to yourself. You only know one side and I’m okay with that…’, she wrote.
Recently, the teaching assistant was the victim of vandalism at her home after someone daubed graffiti and a slew of offensive words calling her a ‘s***’, and ‘w****’ in black paint all over the exterior walls of her home.
In a video posted online she tells viewers that she knows who committed the crime but has no way to go about proving it.
