According to an arrest report, the incident occurred Tuesday at Miami Palmetto Senior High School, located at 7431 SW 120th St. in Pinecrest.

Miami-Dade School Police said the student, Deja Iman Williams, took out the stun gun on campus and “squeezed it, demonstrating the electric shock in front of classmates.”

According to the report, some students who witnessed the incident went to the office to report what they had seen, claiming Williams kept “playing with it” and “zapping it towards them.”

Williams was then arrested and the stun gun was confiscated as evidence.

Williams was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on charges of possession of a weapon on school property and disrupting an educational institution.

On Thursday morning, Williams was no longer appearing in the online jail database.
