A Crestview teenager is accused of hitting a 64-year-old school official with a closed fist.
D’Aaron Chance Taylor, 15, was in a hallway near the Okaloosa Academy charter school official’s office around 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 23. He was agitated and yelled profanities before heading down the hallway, balling up his fist and striking the school official, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office deputy. The deputy’s body camera reportedly captured the incident.
Taylor was trying to hit the man in the face but the victim dodged so that the blow landed in his back and shoulder area, according to an OCSO media release, which stated that deputies then restrained Taylor.
During a search, Taylor was found to have two Xanax tablets in a piece of paper.
Taylor is charged with aggravated assault on an education employee and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
In addition, the OCSO served an outstanding warrant on Taylor for a July car burglary and petty theft on North Brooke Drive in Crestview.
He was taken to the Department of Juvenile Justice Detention facility in Crestview.
