Student Suspended, Charged With Assault for Shooting Spitballs
In 2010, Andrew Mikel was suspended from his Virginia high school for shooting a spitball. He was charged with violent criminal conduct for using a weapon at school. Mikel told his side of the story to Fox News Channel’s Douglas Kennedy, saying, “I was at lunch and I had a pen and little plastic balls that I got from a toy at home. I made the stupid decision of taking the pen apart and shooting people with them.”
