Eighth-Grader Accused Of Resisting Deputies

SPRING HILL - An eighth-grader was arrested Saturday, accused of resisting an officer with violence.
The incident occurred just after 11 p.m., when Hkeem Hart's teenage cousin and siblings were rounded up and placed in squad cars, but not arrested.
Deputies were responding to a prowler alert in a neighborhood near Linden Boulevard and Claymore Street, according to an affidavit.
Hart's family says the teens were searching in a side yard for a cell phone that was dropped on the way home from a party. They claim the teens were detained without cause.
Hart, 14, came outside his home on Marietta Drive after one of the teens in the back of a cruiser used a cell phone to call for help. Hart said he asked Deputy Patrick Craven what was going on and jerked his arm back when the deputy put a hand on Hart's shoulder.
The deputy reported that Hart jumped towards his backup in a "hostile manner."
The affidavit continues: "(Hart) then began to physically resist by attempting to pull away and shove at (me) and Deputy Reynolds."
Hart doesn't deny that he struggled with deputies, but he said it was an attempt to pull away a deputy's arm from his throat. The teen, who stands 6-feet and weighs 165 pounds, also claims Craven slammed his head onto the hood of a cruiser.
The teenager's mother, Sabrina Fritz, said that deputies used strong profanity towards her and her husband when they tried to intervene.
Hart is charged with resisting an officer with violence.
