A former Michigan lunchaide was arrested for allegedly offering students one dollar each to beat up a fourth grader that cursed at her in the lunch line.
According to MLive, Grand Rapids Police Lt. Patrick Merrill said Brooke Wilson-Johnson, 18, of Grand Rapids, who was fired, is charged with disorderly conduct and aiding and abetting delinquency, after an investigation into the Oct. 7 incident. He said the city attorney issued the warrants on Oct. 21.
But Wilson-Johnson, who allegedly attempted to pay students to beat up the child in retaliation for his behavior that included calling her a "pregnant b----," denied to detectives that she tried to have the 9-year-old beaten up, according to a police report.
"The suspect said she never offered any money to the kids to beat up the victim," according to Detective Mason Klein, in a report based on a phone conversation with Wilson-Johnson. "She said the principal's statement is a lie. She said she is not a bad person."
In documents, Principal Bernard Colton said when he asked her what happened, she said she was "playing." She allegedly admitted the threat to the principal and told him the boy had sworn at her -- a claim backed up by other employees, records show.
Wilson-Johnson was observed giving one student $1 by a resource teacher, Renee Lance, in the cafeteria.
According to the report, Wilson-Johnson said she was going to buy a boy a bag of chips for standing up to the 9-year-old who swore at her, but ended up giving him a dollar instead. She said the boy to whom she gave the dollar never beat up his classmate.
A contracted employee through West Michigan Janitorial Service, Wilson-Johnson began working at Campus this year, and had passed a background check, officials said.
