A 13 year old Chicago school boy has been suspended from school and is facing a criminal record for throwing a snowball that hit a cop on the arm.
The boy and a group of classmates were on their way home when a snowball was thrown which hit the officer's arm as he sat in his patrol car. The kid, who denies throwing the snowball, said he saw it, and it actually hit the car not the officer. The boy was taken into custody and charged with aggravated battery to a 'peace officer', which is a felony.
The kid, who is due in court on March 12th, faces having a criminal record for a felony charge, something that will affect him for years to come over the throwing of a snowball.
Chicago police have confirmed that the boy has no gang affiliation and that he has no criminal record.
