SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah — A Utah teen has been arrested and faces charges of aggravated assault following a fight at school where he allegedly attempted to strike another student with a skateboard. Glazier Jackson, 18, was arrested Thursday.
According to court documents obtained by FOX 13 News, Glazier was involved in a fistfight at school. Police say that security and cell phone video showed that the fight began mutually and was separated by school administrators.
Once the fight was separated, officers said that Jackson charged the other student with the skateboard above his head and brought it down full-force at the student's head. The school's principal was able to block most of the force of the skateboard.
Officials added that Glazier is known to own a large switchblade knife that he sometimes brings to school. Investigators say that Glazier told the victim during the fight that if he had his knife he would stab them. Glazier is also reported to have said to several other students the next day that he planned to stab the victim and showed off his knife.
Jackson faces felony charges and is currently being held without bail.
