A parent accused of fighting two 16-year-old girls was banned from school property, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Michael Zellar allegedly attacked two girls at Lithonia High School after his daughter said they bullied her, the news station reported. He threatened to come back and fight the girls again.
“It makes me feel upset that he can come to the school and do that,” a parent of one of the attacked girls told Channel 2. The parent asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. “He could have prevented it. He’s a grown man.”
Zellar told Channel 2 he was simply breaking up the fight between the girls.
“I go to pull them off and security attacks me,” Zellar said.
But according to a police report, officers witnessed Zellar punch one girl in the face unprovoked.
The two girls were suspended through the end of the school year, the news station reported. They were taken to the DeKalb County Juvenile Detention Center.
Zellar and the girls were charged with misdemeanor battery, obstructing law enforcement and disrupting a public school.
