Deion Sanders is being investigated for assaulting an administrator at his Texas charter school Prime Academy...
From Dallas News
Kevin Jefferson, an employee of the charter school, said he was in a faculty meeting with several witnesses at the school on the 330 block of East Ann Arbor Ave. on Wednesday afternoon. Sanders and other administrators and teachers were meeting and Jefferson said Sanders got upset that some student athletes are not doing well in school academically “He was a little upset and a little emotional,” Jefferson said, and he and Sanders got into a verbal disagreement.
Jefferson told police that he told the suspect not to speak to him that way, according to a police report. “He walked back to the back of the classroom to where I was sitting in a desk,” Jefferson told our Tanya Eiserer this morning. “As he got closer to me, I stood up because he was kind of standing over me and he just kind of kept talking to me and at me and then he just grabbed me by my throat and kind of threw me to the ground. Some people had to get him off of me.”
Jefferson said he went to the hospital to check on any injuries he might have sustained during the incident. He flagged down police after he left. He told the Dallas Morning News that he has not had any previous confrontations with Sanders.
“I’m going to pursue my options with my attorney,” he said. “I just think it’s unacceptable in a professional environment particularly at a school for that kind of behavior to go on.”
