Police in Iowa have charged Erin Michelle Aalfs, a former teacher at Moravia Elementary School, with two counts of simple assault and one count of interference with official acts causing serious injury. Police said Aalfs kicked and threw rocks at a preschool student and tossed the student toward a chain-link fence on the playground during school hours. A sheriff's deputy then allegedly sustained injuries while attempting to arrest Aalfs, who resigned sometime after the incident.
