A male Kentwood High School student claimed his head was slammed into a vehicle by a family member outside of school on Dec. 12.

Covington police received a child abuse report at 12:30 p.m. that stated an adult male engaged in an argument with his 16-year-old step-son at the school, grabbed the student “by the back of the neck and slammed his head into the side of the truck.” Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason said the student did not wish to pursue any charges and “at this stage it is an informational case; not to the point of follow up.”

Klason said the family requested handling the issue “in-house” and that an officer will try to follow-up to make sure things are “fine and safe at the home.”
