Autistic student in Conroe ISD arrested for playing with 'imaginary rifle"

Autistic student in Conroe ISD arrested for playing with 'imaginary rifle"

Handcuffed and hauled away. It happened Monday to a 5th grade autistic student at Conroe Independent School District's Bozman Intermediate school. The offense alleged against 12-year-old David Sims is brandishing an "imaginary" rifle at his art teacher, an educator who apparently felt threatened. "She (CISD Police Officer) just put handcuffs on me and told me I need to go with her," said David Sims. "They just said, 'We don't tolerate that. We take it as a threat.' A threat? He didn't threaten anyone. He didn't do anything but play," said Amy Sims, David's mother.
