Friday afternoon, during an altercation on a school bus at Suwannee High School, one student was tasered as officers and school officials worked to escort her off of Route 23 in the high school bus compound, according to Scott Pfender, director of  transportation for Suwannee County schools.

“They were trying to get her off the bus, and she started flaying her arms at them,” said Pfender, who was at the scene. “Somewhere among all that, I heard the taser go off, and she just stood there.”

SHS administrators and officials involved at the scene were unavailable Friday.
