DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The charge against a Florida high school student accused of attacking a teacher's aide over a video game have been upgraded to adult court where he now faces a felony, according to court records.

The 17-year-old male accused in the assault which left the woman unconscious, was charged with aggravated battery on a school board employee, a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

“The student stated that he was upset because the victim took his Nintendo Switch away from him during class,” according to the release.

School surveillance video shows the student walking fast toward the woman, knocking her to the floor, which knocked her unconscious, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.

Following the attack, the teen asked what was going to happen to him and whether he'd be allowed to return to his group home, according to a charging affidavit. When a deputy responded that he did not have an answer, the teen began kicking a desk and a computer system, causing a monitor to fall to the floor, the affidavit stated.

As the student was led away in handcuffs he passed by where medical personnel were treating the employee. The teen started to spit towardthe victim and then yelled he would kill her, according to the charging affidavit and body camera video.

He's being held on $1 million bail at the Flagler County Jail, according to the sheriff's office.

Yeah other threads got nuked.

I was wondering if it was the low key racism that was going on throughout the threads, or the fact that it was a (likely)mentally ill minor that did it.

Update on the story at least, he could face up to 30 years in prison.

Up to 30 years if convicted.

I saw an article last night that the teacher said it wasn't about the console. But I cannot find that article today.

He was already arrested for battery three times when he was 14??? Not even his first offense, can't even claim he is too stupid to know what will happen.

My favorite part: Moments later he told officers: 'F**k you, I don't want to go to jail. I have more important things to do,' before accusing them of manhandling him.

From the article;

When Depa was escorted away by deputies, he spit at the teacher and "made comments that when he comes back he was going to kill her", according to the arrest report.

He also told officials he will "beat her up" anytime she tries to take his game.


WTF? Fucking nutcase.
