In Loudon County, Tennessee, a 48-year-old teacher named Amanda Bruce from Northwest Middle School was arrested and charged with assault following an incident on January 28, 2026.
According to an arrest warrant, a 12-year-old student reported to Principal Kayla Vaughn that morning that Bruce had kicked them in the buttocks during the school day.
An investigation by authorities confirmed the kicking occurred, resulting in pain and visible redness on the student’s buttocks, which the child’s mother also documented later that day.
Bruce was taken into custody by the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office, booked into the Loudon County Jail on a $5,000 bond, and has since been released.
