In a shocking and unusual incident, a 12-year-old school girl has been arrested for doodling on her desk with an erasable marker.
The New York City middle school student reportedly was put in metal handcuffs, not the plastic ties often used, and taken to a police station for her offence.
Alexa Gonzalez, a seventh grader at Junior High School 190 in Forest Hills, was hauled out of school in handcuffs, the Daily News reported on Friday.
Handcuffed for minor infractions - According to a report from MyFox National, a Queens girl was not only hauled off in handcuffs, she was even patted down by officers.
Gonzalez told the Daily News that she was scribbling a few words on her desk Monday while waiting for her Spanish teacher to pass out homework.
She allegedly scribbled: "I love my friends Abby and Faith," adding the phrases "Lex was here. 2/1/10" and a smiley face.
The girl says she scribbled using a lime-green erasable marker and that the doodles could have been erased. But, she was suspended when an offending item was found with her.

I wonder what the "offending item was. Surely it wasn't just a marker, right?
I mean they must have found drugs or something.
