A special-needs student has been arrested and charged after Texas police say she refused to leave her classroom.

The family wants the charges dropped. But the police chief says "no way."

LaChastity Hewitt, 18, just graduated from Bastrop High School, which sits southeast of Austin.

Back in April, Hewitt was in class when a teacher told her to stop talking, MyFoxAustin.com reported. When she didn't, she was told to leave at least twice. But Hewitt refused each time.

"I think one of the students had continued to talk to me when I was working and I asked can she please not talk to me," Hewitt said.

Her teacher called the school's resource officer who's with Bastrop police. Police say Hewitt swung at the officer several times when he tried to remove her from class.

"I didn't get up so he grabbed by my shoulder real hard", she also said, "He tripped me with his foot, took me down on the ground and had his knee in my back. And I could not get down also he pulled his taser on me and he turned it on," said Hewitt.
