Mo. school asks officer not to return after stun gun incident

MAPLEWOOD, Mo. (AP) -- A new police officer is working at two Maplewood-Richmond Heights schools, after the previous resource officer used a stun gun on a 13-year-old girl.

A police inquiry did not find Officer Darryl Overall did anything wrong. The officer has not been disciplined, but the middle school asked him not to return.

Overall also had worked at the high school in the suburban St. Louis district.

Overall had used his stun gun during an April 3 fight at the middle school.

Overall had separated two girls. But police say the 13-year-old broke the officer's grip repeatedly and charged the other student. At that point, police say he fired his stun gun, with one probe of it hitting the girl's belt.

Both students were suspended pending the outcome of disciplinary hearings.
