Hayes called the detention staff to remove K.A.B. from the classroom because she "was
concerned that [K.A.B.] was going to continue to get upset." Id.
Detention Officer (DO) Georgia Peterson arrived at the classroom with another DO and
saw that "it was pretty quiet, [K.A.B] was playing with some papers on her desk." Id. at 86. K.A.B.
continued to refuse to leave the classroom or to make any attempt to stand up and leave on her
own, and K.A.B. told Peterson that her voice "was the last voice she wanted to hear." Id. at 86-87.
Hayes asked the other students in the classroom to move to the other side of the room for safety,
and Peterson and the other DO each grabbed one of K.A.B.'s arms, holding K.A.B. in the escort
position, and escorted her out of the classroom. When they arrived at the intake room, Peterson
and the other DO placed K.A.B. on the bench in one handcuff and cuffed her to the cuff bar.
After Peterson and the other DO restrained K.A.B. at the cuff bar, they left K.A.B. alone
in the intake area. Detention staff were working on other tasks when Peterson saw on the security
camera that K.A.B. was not on the bench and had gotten out of the handcuff.

When Peterson went back into the intake room with DO Joshua Dick, K.A.B. was holding
something in her hand and the detention officers verbally directed K.A.B. to set the object down
and sit back on the bench. K.A.B. was in the storage area when Dick and Peterson returned to the
intake room. The security video confirmed that K.A.B. had been calmly walking about the intake
room and had wandered into the storage area shortly before the DOs arrived.
While in the storage area, both Dick and Peterson grabbed K.A.B.'s arms and moved
K.A.B. to the bench where they restrained K.A.B. in cuffs behind her back. While Dick attempted
to apply the leg restraints, K.A.B. was kicking and resisting the restraints. Peterson held K.A.B.'s
legs by the knees and had pulled her close to prevent her kicking. K.A.B.'s face was about one and
a half feet away from Peterson's when K.A.B. spit on Peterson's face. Peterson then pushed
K.A.B.'s face away toward the wall and a third DO came to assist in restraining K.A.B.'s head
against the bench. Peterson retrieved a spit mask that completely shrouded K.A.B.'s face and
applied it to K.A.B. to prevent her from spitting again.
K.A.B. apparently continued to swear, refused to comply with verbal instructions, and
struck the back of her head against the wall behind her while fully restrained and with the mask
covering her face. The three DOs then moved K.A.B. from the bench to a restraint chair. Peterson
testified that K.A.B. made threats to kill her while the three DOs were moving K.A.B. from the
bench to the restraint chair. Dick also testified that while K.A.B. was sitting back on the bench
after the second attempt
