3 students, grandmother are arrested

May 21, 2008

Three students at an Annapolis school for troubled students, as well as a grandmother who is featured on cable television as one of Anne Arundel County's "most wanted," were charged after staff members reported that the children were "running amok" and refusing to go to class, police said.

Employees at the Phoenix School, 291 Locust Ave., reported May 14 that a 9-year-old refused to go to class and was running through the halls. He then kicked and punched a teacher, and then kicked the principal, police said.

Another 9-year-old also refused to go to class and was running through and around the school. He kicked a teacher's car four times, then tried to kick several staff members when he was taken to the office, police said.

A 14-year-old refused to go to class and was running through the halls.

All three were arrested and charged as juveniles, the first two with assault and disrupting school activities, the third with disrupting school activities.

When the second child's grandmother came to the school to pick him up and sign the juvenile citation, officers discovered she was wanted on a bench warrant for violation of probation stemming from convictions for drug possession and driving on a suspended license. Lenora Stansbury, 41, also known as Lenora McClintock, is among the suspects featured on the current installment of Anne Arundel County's Most Wanted. She was arrested at the school.
