Jonathan Bruno Mallwitz was charged with domestic assault and felony child abuse after deputies arrested him today at a mobile home park. Officers say that after they arrived, the suspect barricaded himself in a bathroom and punched a hole in the door. Deputies sprayed him with pepper spray and as they pried open the door, then saw him slam the baby to the floor. School officials say the gun was found in the student s possession - and say at no time was the weapon used in a threatening manner or ever discharged. The student was quickly detained.
Authorities say there is no evidence to indicate the student had any intent to harm anyone.
Good news for some 12-hundred employees at Proctor and Gamble's two facilities in Greensboro. The consumer products giant announced 96-hundred more job cuts nationwide. Company spokesman Brent Holmes said they were poised for bad news, but apparently no changes are in store for the Triad facilities. Local officials feel the strong product lines made in the Greensboro plants helped them avert any further layoffs for the time being. Initial reports say the man being pursued went into the school and left through another door without being apprehended.
