A PSJA middle school teacher in San Juan, Texas was charged with using zip ties to restrain an 11-year-old student.
The Brownsville Herald reports that Jose Manuel Martinez, 25, was arrested in his home over allegations that he had used zip ties to restrain a child in his class. The mother of the alleged victim complained to Austin Middle School staff that Martinez had used zip ties to secure her son’s hands during an in-school suspension. The mother told police that Martinez prevented her son from seeing the school nurse after he complained of breathing difficulties.
A woman who is said to have witnessed the incident told police that the boy used obscene language, threatened to leave the class, hit the walls with his hands and refused to do class work. She said the boy was only restrained for five minutes with the zip ties but that it was the third time that the boy had been restrained.
Martinez was charged with unlawful restraint of a minor, a felony. If found guilty, he faces up to two years in state jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
