Woman accused of beating LRSD guard pleads not guilty

LITTLE ROCK, AR – A woman accused of getting into a fight and biting a school security guard at Terry Elementary School pleaded not guilty to 2nd degree battery Thursday in court.

According to the police report, 56-year-old Belinda Mitchell was at the school last Wednesday afternoon and became “belligerent” with a teacher. When the security guard began to escort Mitchell out of the building, Mitchell began to fight. A broken nail was recovered from the guard’s hair and was stored as evidence.

The security guard tells police she was hit by Mitchell several times and her left arm was bit. The pair fell into a Plexiglass window, knocking it out of frame.

The case now heads to Pulaski County Court on January 4th, 2013.
