Woman charged after officer assaulted, vehicles damaged at Lexington high school
A Lexington woman is accused of assaulting a police officer and damaging three vehicles with rocks at Henry Clay High School on Thursday, according to court documents.
Court records allege that Metoya Haymer, 23, “unlawfully” appeared at the Henry Clay High School campus at approximately 8:45 a.m. Thursday. Fayette County Public Schools spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall said Haymer was seen in the student parking lot on campus throwing rocks at vehicles and asking students to borrow their cars.
Haymer had no connection to Henry Clay High School, Deffendall said.
The damage sustained by three separate vehicles was more than $1,000 each, per court documents.
While Haymer was being detained, she allegedly kicked and struck a police officer, causing minor injuries, Deffendall said.
Haymer has been charged with third-degree assault, third-degree criminal trespassing, second-degree disorderly conduct and three counts of first-degree criminal mischief. She’s being held at the Fayette County Detention Center with a $500 bond.
